Perceptual Edge website
posted Tue 11 Jul 2006 by Michael Galloy under VisualizationPerceptual Edge has a library of excellent articles written by the Stephen Few, author of the site. His examples were also informative; each example analyzes and redesigns a statistical graphic. The discussion groups have some thoughtful ideas, but are not as useful as Tufte’s Ask E.T. forum. (By the way, I wish the website was as good as the content. Something as simple as the navigation links worked only intermittently.)
Few has two books that look interesting: Information Dashboard Design and Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten.

Michael,
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve taken your discontent with my Web site seriously and am working to improve it. With the addition of a new member to my team, someone here finally has the time and know-how to make some useful changes.
Take care,
Steve

Everything worked fine and looked good when I just visited.
