I decided to make everything open source. Microsoft patented sparklines, but they didn't. And they used it as a trademark. But my view is I'm open source. Yeah. So hearing that Amazon was using this to great success and every loss of other people, that, you know, that made me so happy. Well, I had consequences. You could say it's like a medical report, which turns out presentation means kind of everything. See, so they're both thinking about credibility and content, consumer and producer. And then the second piece of this two chapter thing is data analysis, visualization and the truth. This is a sort of short course in ET.
So you have some information — how are you going to share it with and present it to the rest of the world? There has been a long history of organizing and displaying information without putting too much thought into it, but Edward Tufte has done an enormous amount to change that. Beginning with The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and continuing to his new book Seeing With Fresh Eyes: Meaning, Space, Data, Truth, Tufte’s works have shaped how we think about charts, graphs, and other forms of presenting data. We talk about information, design, and how thinking about data reflects how we think about the world.
