I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Businessweek shows the potential danger in data. “All you need are two graphs and a leading question.” I’d argue word clouds are just as bad as these parodies. They suggest correlation by pretending word frequency is more important than sentence structure and, you know, actual language.
