Suggested surfing: Ben Fry, visualization guru

by tharris on July 30, 2008

If you aren’t familiar with the work of Ben Fry (blog), you really owe it to yourself to spend a few hours surfing around his work. His work is beautiful and inspirational. Don’t miss his Ph.D. dissertation.

Ben is the author of the recent O’Reilly text Visualizing Data (review coming soon).

I first came across Ben’s work at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in NYC. If you are ever in New York, the Cooper Hewitt is a great way to soak up great design.
