Most people think data visualization is about making things pretty. It's not. It's about making things clear.

You know you've done it right when you design a chart or map that makes someone say "Oh wow, I didn't realize that."

Illegal notice. Yet another violation of the Hatch Act.

How do hold these people accountable? I dont' want to see these whiney, finger-pointing, and blatantly illegal notices. Just give me the facts without partisan bullshit.

And real scientists who care about their work and not kissing asses. The childish assholes violating the Hatch Act need to be held accountable - this bullshit posting on government websites blaming dems for the shutdown is illegal.

I thought the president was supposed to be a president for all the people.

America is now being lead by a fascist, authoritarian government.

Another Hatch Act violator.

Hold them accountable!

These notices are not only illegal but unprofessional and sound like a 10-yr-old playground bully wrote them.

Can you say Hatch Act violation?

Today I have the pleasure of teaching a #DataViz workshop at @unm.edu - this amazing 1986 Climate Map of the Earth is hanging on the wall in the room I'm teaching in. Of course I had to share!

This is the only acceptable 3D pie chart.

Prepping for my hands-on #dataviz workshop is really stressing out my printer.

Ah yes...thanks for pointing that out. I believe that is same in the fine print - it's very difficult to read, but appears to indeed be 1550 not 1590.

This arrived in the mail. Gift from a friend.

The fine print reads: “The Gulf of Mexico was mapped in 1519 and recorded in history in 1590 - over 200 years before the United States even had its first colony. No rebranding can change centuries of history.”
