Visual metaphors are a powerful aid to human thinking. From Sanskrit through hieroglyphics to the modern alphabet, we have used ci-phers, objects, and illustrations to share meaning with other peo-ple, thus enabling collective and collaborative thought. As our experience of the world has become more complex and nuanced, the demands to our thinking aids have increased proportionally. Diagrams, data graphics, and visual confections have become the language we resort to in this abstract and complex world. They help us under-stand, create, and completely experience reality.

Even after more than a decade in this field, I still discover new dataviz books published long ago (here, 2009). 📊

Ben's trek across Switzerland is fascinating. Love how you visualized it and enjoyed the NYT article & your podcast too. Found it inspiring and I would do this trek myself (a walker and have done several treks in Europe, including the Camino de Santiago).

Hello! Finally, I found the guts to share my new podcast mini series called ´The Storyteller’.Still learning & really look forward to your support. My first guest, Ben chatted with me about walking across 🇨🇭on foot.

The American Falls, on the right side, are the second largest of the three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada–United States border. The Rainbow Bridge connects Niagara Falls, Ontario to Niagara Falls, New York.

I don't think there is. I started learning PowerBI a few months ago and was curious about this as well. Technically, the only way to migrate them is by exporting data from PBI & importing it into Tableau and rebuilding vizes to achieve a similar look and functionality (so not exactly a "migration").

Thanks! Great community initiative.

Starting to Figma it Out I still remember the feeling when I first opened Figma. I was totally overwhelmed. The clean interface was promising, but where do you even…

New year, new skills! 🎉 My first blog post, “Starting to Figma it Out,” is live!

I enjoyed it too. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm excited to dive in too! Hadn't seen this title before but it looks like it was published this year in June - grateful to have come across it in the recent post of the Data Visualization Society. ☺️

I just bought this book and look forward to start reading it in the new year; it combines two of my passions, Tableau and statistics. #Tableau #Dataviz 📊
