a little perspective

i think i'd really like this book.

it seems well suited to the way i absorb information best...

minimal text and LOTS of visuals. pretty, colorful visuals.

i got completely sucked into the web site.

so much aesthetically pleasing, interesting content.

the fellow behind it all is David McCandless, a london-based author, writer and designer.

"I’m interested in how designed information can help us understand the world, cut through BS and reveal the hidden connections, patterns and stories underneath. Or, failing that, it can just look cool!"

he loves pie and hates pie charts.

i like his style.
