Storytelling
I was vacationing with my family in York Beach, Maine over the July 4th Holiday. My daughter was playing with a friend of hers and I snuck up behind them with a cold bucket of ocean water. I asked them if they were hot and when they looked at me I dumped the bucket of water on them.

Stephen FewIs there a better metric?Why is this important?Is that good?
“Design must become an innovative, highly creative, cross-disciplinary tool responsive to the true needs of men. It must be more research-oriented, and we must stop defiling the earth itself with poorly-designed objects and structures.”

Stephen FewWhat Is the Best Response to Bad Practices?https://www.perceptualedge.com/blog/?p=2154
During the last two days, I spent a great deal of time corresponding with my friend Alberto Cairo after he informed me that he was hosting a public lecture by David McCandless at the University of Miami. Alberto and I are both critical of McCandless’ infographics. I am more passionate in my criticism, however, perhaps because I frequently and directly encounter the ill effects of McCandless’ influence. More than anyone else working in data visualization today, McCandless has influenced people to design data visualizations in ways that are eye-catching but difficult to read and often inaccurate. Also more than anyone else, when my readers and students talk about the challenges that they face in the workplace because their bosses and clients expect eye-candy rather than useful information effectively displayed, they identify McCandless as the source of this problem.

What technologies are used?
R is used in every step of the data journalism process: for cleaning and processing data, for exploratory graphing and statistical analysis, for models deploying in real time as and to create publishable data visualizations. We write R code to underpin several of our popular interactives, as well, like the Facebook Primary and our historical Elo ratings of NBA and NFL teams. Heck, we’ve even styled a custom ggplot2 theme. We even use R code on long-term investigative projects.-Andrew Flowers
