Visualizing Data

I found a great video clip about visualizing data.  David McCandless makes some great points about the media, environmentalism, and politics.  He does a great job of combining math with art to create something meaningful and informative which puts current events into perspective.

The other thing I like about the video clip is that he demonstrates how easy it is to deceive people using data and statistics.
