The guru of graphics is coming to town

Geek that I am, I haven't been this excited since I got tickets to see George Harrison in 1974.

Edward Tufte is doing a one-day seminar right here in Durham in March! Tufte is Professor Emeritus at Yale and literally "wrote the book" on the graphical display of complex data.

Business Week calls him the "Galileo of graphics" and the New York Times calls him "The Leonardo da Vinci of data."
