Tufte in Atlanta, GA
Edward Tufte will be in Atlanta to teach his course on 28 Feb 2005 and 01 Mar 2005. http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/courses
If you have $320 dollars it's money well spent. Not only do you get three of his books (each about $55 retail) you also get the The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint essay and the best statistical graphic ever drawn, the map of losses suffered by Napoleon's army in the Russian campaign of 1812. Did I also mention that Tufte's speaking style is very engaging? Or that this one day course will improve your eye for design?
If you are going, show up early. Professor Tufte is early and is very accessible. Bring a notebook to take notes. Sit in front. Enjoy!
