This snippet of HTML (below), mailed to me as an "infographic" is a
way of pulling the jpg, tall and narrow, into a web page, where your
browser gives scrolling access.

However, if you're already in your browser, just opening the jpg file
would be an option.

I'm ambivalent about what seems to be a mixed message.

For my part, I do not side with teachers who forbid access to
Wikipedia on the grounds it's of low quality.

The statistic that 56% of students will halt research if Wikipedia
proves a dead end on the topic suggests creeping early brain death
syndrome (EBDS) among students (I've long suspect its advance). **

HTML re Wikipedia:

<a href="http://open-site.org/wikipedia/";>
<img src="http://opensite.s3.amazonaws.com/wikipedia.jpg";
alt="Wikipedia" width="500" border="0" /></a>
<br />Via: <a href="http://open-site.org/";>Open-Site.org</a>

In any case, thought I'd pass it along, maybe Facebook it later.

The jpeg is just a lot of graphics and stats.  What would be the Tufte take?

Very much a black and orange theme.  What's the implication there?

The switch by Prineville (Facebook) to a "timeline view" of each user
profile is much more in line with my anticipated medical records /
chart of the future, where you-the-patient are also well-educated
(like a doctor) on your particular conditions (practicing physicians,
on the other hand, need to be up on more conditions than just their
own).
