a natural bar graph
notes:
1. i’ve been using these pencils on and off since 1992.
2. The y data is naturally labeled.
3. a more correct title would be: “color pencil disuse by color,” though use is a type of disuse.
4. the pencil on the far left (aqua-green) was never used (for reasons that i can’t go into here) and thus makes for a nice control.
5. notice how the most used colors follow this precise order: blues, reds, greens, browns and are all earthtones.
6. look at that cluster of warm colors in the middle. what up with dat?
7. i wonder if someone else’s graph would turn out in a similar fashion or if this is a unique fingerprint of the colors that I dig.
Didi: Stu, what are you doing?
Stu: Making chocolate pudding.
Didi: It’s four o’clock in the morning! Why on earth are you making chocolate pudding?
Stu: Because I’ve lost control of my life.
