Data is Beautiful: David McCandless is a Data Detective
According to his TED Speaker bio, David McCandless is a Data Journalist. In his new book, Information Is Beautiful (UK; in the US, it’s being called The Visual Miscellaneum), David and his team of information designers explore a wide range of visualized data points in over 250 infographics.
In this TedTalk video, he explains his enjoyment as a “data detective” – discovering patterns in information data. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut — and it may just change the way we see the world. In particular, McCandless is interested in living data visualization and data mashups.

I am a self-professed info-fiend who strives to know a little something about everything. This is my personal blog where I occasionally write about random things that I find interesting.
