I really like this resource: http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table...

Often use it when I need a visualization technique for a presentation.

It cannot be overstated how much people freakin' love charts.

The more you add the more you'll sell. I don't care what your product is, you should figure out a way to usefully add a graph or a chart.

The author seems to be confused about that chart and Tufte.

Yeah, the chart he refers to wasn't Tufte's own it is Minard's presented by Tufte.

I have not clicked through to read this article, but I will nevertheless make several attempts to summarize it judging solely from its Hacker News headline:

- If you want to have better sex, try to employ the use of more charts in the bedroom.

- The author unveils a time series chart contrasting his copulation frequency with his masturbation frequency.

- The author is attacked by plain-jane charts everywhere for espousing an impossibly high standard for chart sexiness.

- A JavaScript charting library is so good that it makes the article author want to have sex with the JavaScript library author.
