Edward Tufte is having a yard sale | MetaFilter: "Attending one of Tufte's full-day sessions in San Francisco was one of the most monumental disappointments of my professional life. It was 8 hours of dry-but-acceptable lecturing, chock full of 'turn to page 82 of 'Visual Display of Complicated Information' and read the 3rd paragraph down' ... silence ... then he'd read it to us and maybe talk a little bit more about it. Maybe. The guy's a genius in many regards and I agree with his sentiments against presenting information using slides in general, but he does a horrible job convincing people to present without them. It was just terrible."
