Phi Beta Iota: “Mining” the soil does not go far.  Actually planting, tilling, watering, and growing is much more powerful.  This is one of the most compelling TED briefs we have seen.  “Language of the eye” combined with “language of the mind.”  All about “relative” numbers and relationships.  “Let the data set change your mindset.”  Art of knowledge compression.  Living data in a Google document.  If you visit his books at Amazon, take the time to check out the related books on data visualization that Amazon clusters for around these.

Tip of the Hat to Magnus Hultberg at LinkedIn.  Also see these resources.
