Fax 'n Figgers.

After a few months of curating the UWA 3D Open Art Challenge, it quickly became clear that I was amassing a substantial dataset. Each month we had many entries and many artists and every entry has been recorded and photographed. I kept most of this in a Google spreadsheet that I could share with JayJay so he could check and verify the records with his own records. For the final accounting, I moved it all to a MySQL database on my web server since I'm fairly comfortable with that technology and scripting syntax and it allowed me to do some more in-depth analysis than the rather cumbersome spreadsheet.

Here are some of the more interesting statistics I gathered.
