7 Geeky Flowcharts
by Miss Cellania - July 22, 2008 - 5:44 AM

There are those who would say the phrase “geeky flowcharts” is redundant, since flowcharts are pretty geeky in themselves. However, some stand above the crowd because of their subject matter or the delightful self-referential humor in each vector.

Geek Life

This Geek Flowchart from the New York Times has no arrows, but it really doesn’t matter. We all know what they’re talking about.

Geek Hierarchy

Brush up on what’s geekier than what with the Geek Hierarchy Flowchart. See a larger version and several other flowcharts in this post.

Genealogy

The Genealogue has a flow chart to guide you through what really happens when people trace their genealogy by using the internet. I only have room for a small portion at the beginning; see the rest here.

Procrastination

The Accordian Guy made this procrastination flowchart, probably when he was supposed to be doing something more important. See the full size version here.

Bacon

The tastiest internet meme of all was enshrined in flowchart form.

Comic Book Villains

Cracked readers constructed Insane Supervillain Schemes In Flowchart Form for a competition. They posted the top 20. Yes, twenty of them! The above flowchart was ranked at #12. The subject of #1 flowchart may surprise you, but you’ll laugh anyway.

Error

Next Wave Performance made a flowchart for their error page. It contains some FAQs, including “Do you have a visual representation of what happened?” followed by a flowchart. This is only a portion; the entire chart is on the error page.

  1. While I agree with some of these, I want to point out that a Flowchart of any sort is inherently geeky from the start.

    How many non-geeky people do you know that know what a flowchart is, or even how to follow it?

  2. I’ve also enjoyed What Would Richard Feynman Do? seen here:

  3. it would be cool if the links from the pics went to larger charts…

  4. jdmoney, the links in yellow highlight go to the sources, or the bigger versions.

  5. Thanks for linking to me! I love the magazine :)

  6. I love the bacon flowchart just about as much I love bacon!
