Thanks to Bob Walp, a GCI co-founder and an absolute gem of a human being, I'm back on an Edward Tufte kick. Bob gave me Tufte's new work, a short but deadly little publication, The Cognitive Style of Power Point. I read it today and am still digesting it. I'll have quite a bit to say about it in the next few days However, after reading the paper, I knocked about on Tufte's superb Ask ET page. I stumbled across the most marvelous link to the animation of A Day in the Life of Air Traffic Over the Continental U.S. This is a must view - although even over a broadband connection it will take a few minutes to load. It is fascinating. Being an Alaskan, I get a particular kick out of watching the planes head off towards Alaska from Seattle, Salt Lake, and Minneapolis. 6:20:28 PM    comment []
