Intrigued by a Garr Reynolds online SlideShare presentation about John Medina’s Brain Rules, I got the book and read it. I think Garr did a great job in summarizing Medina’s chapter on vision.

Stamen Design just released their latest work, an interactive hurricane tracker for MSNBC, just in time for Gustav.

Great interactive visualization in my opinion. Hover your mouse over different parts of the track to get specific information about that part of the visualization. This visualization will no doubt go [...]

More good feedback from people on this on the VizThink forum. Through discussion on that forum, I realized I’d blundered. The original graphic I did was just trying to show the difference between getting ideas out of people’s head vs getting ideas into people’s heads.
