“Reading Edward Tufte’s latest opus, Beautiful Evidence, I stopped on page 176 to consider his redesign of a table of data about cancer survival rates, shown (in part) here. As you can see, it’s a stack of sparklines, each decorated with data labels. In Tufte’s online forum you can find the original table, the redesign, and an assortment of PowerPoint manglings of the data.” (Thanks rc3.org!)

“The conference that I spent around 8 months planning, IDEA, transpired over the course of last Monday and Tuesday. In short, it went really well. Attendees seemed genuinely enthused — many went out of their way thank me. The speakers had a good time with one another and the audience. And, after I was able to come down off the epinephrine buzz of constantly being ‘on’, I realized that it all pretty much went off without a hitch. And now, some remembrances, lessons learned, and other thoughts about the event.”
