Simpsons "Powers of 10" Classic Send-up

Yes we've been neglecting the blog for a few weeks. It's summer after all and up here in the Pacific Northwest when the sun comes out, you take advantage of it!

But this week we are working on an infographic project and so in honor of that occasion, we will be sharing some of our research here on (incli)NATION.

First up, a fabulous send-up of the classic "Powers of 10" by Charles and Ray Eames.

Simpsons fans will remember this one: it is a classic in its own right. The following from infoaesthetics

compare The Simpsons' rendition of the Powers of Ten to the 1977 original documentary film, shown after the break.
