Some of the northwestern states have really crazy weaves.

I don't understand why they weave across each other at all. That seems totally unnecessary. Must be for artistic and visually appealing reasons.

No, the thickest line(source state with largest %), is always at the top for any given year.

Ah, I got myself confused by looking at the "Other states" line, which were way bigger. But they should be, since they aren't individual states.

The charts just keep coming rapid-fire... PEW PEW PEW ;)

A lot of people in the SF Bay Area wear Jawbone Up data recording bracelets to track their fitness activity.

There was a pretty big earthquake in the Bay Area yesterday in the early morning.

The Jawbone company compiled the data from its users and charted who was awoken by the earthquake and where they were located. This data is amazing to me. We live in an interesting time.

California, at least, might very well collapse.

Orchard Lake Village is barely a neighborhood
