Information Visualization

About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information.

In short, "information is in the eye of the beholder." Continue reading much more all-ado-about this Blogosphere

Why commit to making one new thing each day and posting it online? Freedom of expression - and a kick in the pants to just do it
