Graphic designer Nicholas Felton is obsessed with data. He knows how many songs hes listened to and how much it costs him per mile to fly. Felton visualizes these numerous details in personal Annual Reports. At PopTech 2009, Felton examines what a weeklong-snapshot of New York Times front pages reveals about America.
