Birthday Heat Map

This interactive heat map shows how common your birthday is.  Looks like people make New Year's resolutions to make babies.  It also looks like there's some preference to have a baby a few days before Christmas or a couple days after.  I'm sure you can see some patterns I missed.

This is a great data vizualization tool.  I've been thinking more and more about data viz.  I ended up doing some of it for my experiment just so I could see what was going on behind those spreadsheets full of numbers.
