Data presentation can be beautiful, elegant and descriptive. To convey a message to your readers effectively, sometimes you need more than just a simple pie chart of your results. In fact, there are much better, profound, creative and absolutely fascinating ways to visualize data. Many of them might become ubiquitous in the next few years.

When someone visits a website you’ve designed, the odds are that they don’t care much about the colors, images or sounds, they’re immediately looking at the text. No matter how many bells and whistles you’ve built into a website, everyone relies on text to accomplish whatever they’re visiting the site to do. That alone should make typography, the art of arranging type, a priority for any web designer. In this article we take a look at 10 easy rules to keep in mind when designing your next web project.

Here is a very interesting blog entry about Google's newest push to eat away at one of Microsoft's core products: Office. "Go Google" is the name of the effort and it's really catchy as you would expect (see the ads posted). Google is no David in the battle with Microsoft but no one I know believes they are the big bad Goliath.

According to this article, Microsoft's offer of a "free" online Office suite to compete with Google Apps is nothing more than MS Works, if you know what I mean. And it's not free for companies. And collaboration would require spending over $4k on a server. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
