My friend Debra (of Contextures and Contextures Blog fame) sent me a link to GraphJam. She said “Some not so good, other are quite funny. . . . now I’m getting out of there, before I waste any more time.” Like I need any help wasting time.

I’ve seen the GraphJam site before, of course, but I saw a chart I’d never seen before.

The chart is fairly accurate, but it omits the time dimension. In my experience, the “Juuust Right” position is only good for a few moments, then the curve shifts horizontally, and the knob position corresponds to a new temperature outside of the comfort zone. It’s a delicately balanced system, a dynamic equilibrium, with an overly sensitive control circuit.

Anyway, it you have a few minutes to spare, check out GraphJam for a little amusement. Their motto says it all: Pop Culture for People in Cubicles.
