Inform­a­tion Aes­thet­ics, a con­sist­ently click­able and not­able blog, has Fernanda Vié­gas report­ing back from theinfovis.gif InfoVis Con­fer­ence in Sac­re­mento this week. She has pos­ted a geat sum­mary of the key­note address by Mat­thew Eric­son. Brent Fitzger­ald blogged yes­ter­day about the panel that he, Fernanda, Mar­tin Wat­ten­berg and Hans Rosling are present­ing as well. Tak­ing a look at the con­fer­ence pro­gramme, I could not but wish I was there. Thanks for Fernanda (and hope­fully Brent) for giv­ing us an exper­i­ence as close to being there as possible.

By the way, today is the day of Fig, 7 Bru­maire, An CCXVI.

Update: Some­thing local and excit­ing: Social Net­work­ing Week at the Uni­ver­sity of Toronto. Fernanda is speak­ing on Fri­day.
