Check out these very cool data visualization resources provided by Portland State's Library Newsletter (page 3). My favorite is the "periodic table of visualization methods," but all of the resources listed are incredibly neat.
This is just in time for me personally -- I will be presenting on data visualization in March or so (a virtual seminar!), and need to brush up and create a really awesome presentation.
And besides the presentation, I am increasingly seeking to incorporate data visualization in my reporting. My right-brained development colleagues readily absorb information presented pictorially, whereas big Excel spreadsheets of numbers tend to leave them cold.

Hi Amanda, I happened upon your blog and coincidentally I work in data visualization.
Specifically, I created 2 free data visualization services: http://chart.inetsoft.com (take a look at the gallery), and http://www.visualizefree.com (this one's more for interactive dashboards)
This is really cool! We have our department retreat on Friday and I think I may have to share this with them.
Nike! Hi there, nice to hear from you. Yeah, I am really excited about these resources too.
Byron, thanks so much! I can't wait to play. Your programs look pretty awesome. I will be posting much more on data visualization in the days to come, and will give you a shout-out in one of my posts.
Thanks Amanda, Loved this! I checked out your blog after the Prospect Research training at PSU. Great class.
Thought you might be interested in this break-down of how misleading pyramid charts can be. Very interesting!
