Data visualization

Few sites I like

• Gapminder
• Google chart editor (includes maps)
• Google public data explorer
• Observatory of Economic Complexity, MIT
• World Bank Open Data​

and a TED talk by Hans Rosling reminding that data visualization is not about fancy software

Economic blogs

• Vox - CEPR's Policy Portal 
• Economists do it with models
• Dani Rodrik's weblog

Totally random stuff

• JM Solleder (significant other)
• Stuck in Customs (photography)
• Brain Pickings (literature)
• Sleeping in Airports (guide)
