Reed – sure, that could be useful. the rundown:

statistical visualization – viz for the sole purpose of analysis e.g. graphics in R
mapping – geographical maps
artistic viz – beauty is usually the main concern e.g. the dumpster
infographics – graphics not quite for data e.g. graphics in the news
data sources – free data avail for download
design – principles for good graphics, viz
programming tips – code examples for viz
applied stat – statistics in the real world
self-surveillance – collecting and visualizing data about yourself, my research focus (hint hint)

Based on what I think they might be, my order of preference is: # Statistical Visualization # Mapping # Artistic Visualization # Infographics # Available Data Sources # Design # Programming Tips # Applied Statistics # Self-surveillance Can you explain more of what each of these things would entail?

I love looking at them--would like to be able to create some myself!
