NPR's Top 100 Sci-Fi and Fantasy books in flowchart form:
http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2011/09/flowchart-for-navigating-nprs-top-100-sff-books/

It isn't without error, unless, of course, the final volume of Wheel of Time is out.

Without advocating graffiti, I can still say that these are two nifty little tools (more so for the QR creator):

Adjustable Pie-Chart Stencil: http://fffff.at/infoviz-graffiti-stencil/
QR Code Stencil Generator: http://fffff.at/qr-stenciler-and-qr-hobo-codes/

If I had a way to read the latter, I might be tempted to try and use it in a game somehow.

It's a visual puzzle-game reminiscent of the really old mac puzzle games. It has its own surreal sort of logic. So far only a demo exists, so it stops abruptly, but it's quite fun if you find that sort of thing fun, which I do, so I'm posting about it. Enjoy!
