This is my favourite video clip of all time!. So good.
I had no idea a video even existed for this song, let alone one featuring David Cross and Bob Odenkirk.

Google really helps put things in perspective.
Fortunately for me, none of the above suggestions were actually what I was searching for.

Average Airline Departure Delays
Like any good nerd, I was excited about today’s Data.gov announcement, so I put together this infographic (using Google’s fancy MotionChart API) which charts the yearly average departure times for major domestic air carriers.
The chart isn’t terribly interesting; this was more of a mental exercise than an attempt to do anything useful with the data.
There is one notable data point in the chart though, and that’s JetBlue circa 2007—their average departure time spikes as a result of the infamous Valentines Day screwup. Having myself spent 9 hours (and my first wedding anniversary) on the tarmac at JFK during that fiasco, I was curious to see how that would be reflected in the data.
