Colin Pinegar untangled his virtual and real relationships with an infographic, and ended up confronting some real-world messiness.
Pinegar emphasized the importance of the physical aspects of friendship—actually being around one another. The decision to make what amounts to a physical infographic is a reflection of that importance. “Like friendship it took a lot of time, planning, and effort, but I think it was far more impactful than looking at a poster would have been.”

Really fascinating stuff so far! One of my favorite quotes:
Great crisis leaders are not like the rest of us; nor are they like mentally
healthy leaders. They’re often intelligent, prone to poor physical
health, the products of privileged backgrounds, raised by parents in
confl ict, frequently nonreligious, and ambitious.
