Data love
The NYT had an amazing graph today on the breakdown of spending of the average American household:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2
You can zoom in to find that, for example, the average household spends 0.3% of their income on beer at home, and 0.5% on alcohol (not further subdivided) away from home, or that while the price of eggs has skyrocketed in the past year the prices of fresh vegetables has gone down sharply.
SO COOL.
