This week’s internet reviews

Jim Carrey

This month Jim Carrey has been spending his billions on his website, which is just about the daftest and most brilliant official actor's site imaginable. Indeed, it is the website for which the word "awesome" was invented. Godlike magnificence awaits you as a tableau of giant sea monsters, skyscrapers and cut-out Jims (the one with his head stuck on top of a bird's body takes you to his Twitter page) unfolds to yet more Terry Gilliam-esque collages of Carrey in various heroic poses. Click around and you'll discover trailers, family pictures, TV clips and music by his 21-year-old daughter.

Information Is Beautiful

David McCandless believes that an "amazing all-graphic future of civilisation" awaits us. Not really, but he is very keen on charts, venn diagrams, mind mapping and information art which he puts to regular use at the Guardian's magnificent Datablog and here, where he collates the artistic collisions of statistics and design. These visualisations offer a quick way to gain knowledge and can often make a better point than words alone; such as the graphic on which countries have sent the most troops to Afghanistan. Many of the charts relate to economics and politics but plenty offer trivia and mind-blowing nonsense, like the baffling timelines of Star Trek and the correlation between drug use and a nation's happiness.
