  1. The app that supports my mobile hotspot says I've used a terrabyte of data.

    The graphic design is appealing.

    The information design is poor. Without a duration, the number is relatively uninformative—no rate, only a total.

    The content design is questionable. For people who read left-to-right, top-to-bottom, the text actually says "1.02 USED TB" rather than "1.02 TB used".

  2. TIL: According to Wolfram Alpha: The average snowman is actually made of 58,000,000 snowflakes, assuming the snowman is modeled by a cylinder with a volume of 40 cubic feet, and an average snowflake is a sphere of .0000004 cubic feet, and has a packing density between 0.56 to 0.64.
    You're welcome! 😂🤓
