I’m often asked to speak about information visualization and interaction design, and sometimes
design and art. Most venues
are free ones, but even the restricted ones sometimes allow me to bring someone in to hear
the presentation. Let me know if you would like to come to one of the talks that aren’t
freely open to the public—I’ll see what I can do.
