Righteous find !

One of the many amazing features which make GEB so powerful is the design and layout. The pictures and text communicate so much into a compact moment.

Last month, I attended Edward Tufte's one-day seminar on the reading and construction of information graphics. I doubt any video is on-line, as he charges ~$400; but the books you get would have cost half that in the store, and the presentation itself is wonderful.

Both men's ideas are enduring and empowering.
