Guaranteed Successful Design talk
I gave a fun (and useful?) lightning talk at Startupfest Montreal 2016, and Ignite Seattle, and a full-length version at the O’Reilly Design Conference, entitled Guaranteed Successful Design. I hope you find it useful and/or entertaining.
Here’s the slide deck with notes and 5 minute video from Ignite Seattle.
Here’s the full-length slide deck and 45 minute video from the O’Reilly Design Conference 2017.

Four Pillars of Visualization
Please enjoy content based on my Four Pillars of Visualization design principles. I hope you find it useful. The best way to reach me to provide errata and feedback is on twitter.
The Four Pillars are:
- Purpose (the why)
- Content (the what)
- Structure (the how)
- Formatting (everything else)
Here are the resources. I’ll update this page as new material comes online. Everything is free.
- When I worked for IBM I presented a five-part webcast based on the Four Pillars. The videos are no longer available, but here are PDFs of the slide decks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- These focused whitepapers go more in-depth on how to make good design choices for pillars 3 and 4.
- A slide deck from spring 2016 covering the process, which works for a lot of styles of communication, not just visualization.

- A recordings of me presenting the Four Pillars
- The first public talk I gave about the Four Pillars.

Appearances at Strata NYC 2011
Two appearances from the Strata conference in New York this past September.
I gave an Ignite talk called Visualization Done Wrong. This video has too much of me and not enough of my slides.
Alex Howard interviewed me about my new book Designing Data Visualizations and related topics.
I’ll be giving a three hour data visualization workshop at Strata in Santa Clara in February 2012.

Presenting at Strata
I’ll be speaking at Strata NY next week. My main talk is Designing Data Visualizations, on Friday the 23rd at 11:30am.
I’ll also be presenting at the Visualization Showcase Tuesday evening, and at Ignite Strata Wednesday evening.
On Friday at 1pm I’ll be at the O’Reilly booth, signing copies of Beautiful Visualization. Not sure if Designing Data Visualizations will be available in print by then, but if it is, I’ll be signing those too. (You probably want the electronic version of DDV anyway.)
Hope to see you there!

How to buy a practical bike
Last summer I gave a talk at Ignite Seattle on how to buy a practical bike. This is the slide deck for that talk. There’s no audio, but you can gather most of it from the images. The summary is below the presentation.
In general, when shopping for a bike, the best thing you can do is ride several and find one that sings to you. Details of manufacturer and parts are less relevant if you like how the bike feels when you ride it.
- At a give price point, most new bikes are going to have a similar mix and quality level of parts.
- Look for a bike where you can get the handlebar at or above the height of the seat when the seat is adjusted to your leg length.
- Low gears are critical if you live near hills or plan on carrying or pulling loads.
- You probably want at least 32mm / 1.25″ wide tires. You don’t need a suspension, or knobby offroad tires, or any tread at all, in the city.
- Your frame should have room for fenders (you can wait until September for those, but shops may install them free if you buy with your new bike).

UIE Virtual seminar podcast
Here’s the podcast and transcript that goes with my virtual seminar on visualization for UIE. In this podcast I talk a lot about basic visualization concepts, with some good Q&A. It’s good foundational material.

Video of my sameAs talk in London
This is the video of the talk I gave at sameAs in London on March 28th. It’s about 15 minutes, and is a lighthearted look at good and bad visualization techniques and designs. The audience was about 130 geeks with pints; my slides were being controlled for me. Many thanks to @Kaythaney for inviting me to speak. Enjoy!
