I like to think of Edward Tufte as simply The Tufte. I don’t do this to demean him (‘The Tufte’ being aurally akin to ‘The Hoff’); it’s more of an expression of “He’s the man.” Again, in a positive sense, not in a socio-oppressive sense. Okay, that’s too much explanation.
Anyway, if you’d like to read more about The Tufte, his charts, his fans, why he thinks PowerPoint is evil, etc., head on over to Beautiful Evidence at New York Magazine.
UPDATE: And, as Kathryn pointed out, Tufte is coming to town.
