a whole lot of money


Really liked this image from Information is Beautiful (follow the link or click on image to enlarge) showing relatively how many "billions" of dollars are spent / given / needed / earned for everything from annual financing of the Iraq War to Walmart's revenues/profits to how much is needed save the rainforests to the cost of the Beijing Olympics. No sources are included...but it's still pretty cool. The site includes all sort of interesting visual representations of different kinds of information.

On the theme of a lot of money, check out Sprout, a new all-organic restaurant opening soon in my hometown. No matter how much they miss me, I doubt mom and dad are going to take me for a $120 entree on my next visit home....
