The first post is time-sensitive, so I thought I’d start adding content and fill out the edges of the site later: theme, about, links, etc.

The basic idea is simple: Visual displays make information approachable. Often, they bring out larger patterns that we miss by observing only details. Sometimes, they’re the only way to make information salient for human beings. Other times, they’re just plain pretty.

DailyViz is intended to be mix of all of these. Each day, I’ll highlight a visualization that’s useful, unique, or artistic. Contributions and contributors are welcome; comments are hoped for.
