Switching Brain to Vacation Mode
I'm making my summer pilgrimage to my hometown (Long Island, NY)—where me and the family will hopefully take in some beach time, bond with the grandparents and meet up with some childhood friends. For those of you have been following this blog for a while—you know that I don't promise to either stop writing or continue, but every once in a while an "offbeat" vacation post will show up. No promises either way—I've always approached the content here from a "post as inspired" perspective.
Couple of things. I've made it easier to subscribe to Logic + Emotion in a way that best works for you. In addition to e-mail and the regular ways of getting the feed—I've added two buttons that make bookmarking and adding feeds really simple (talk about content distribution). And the bookmark feature has a mouse-over option which supports spaces like Digg, Stumbleupon Etc. The options (shown below) can be found on the left column of the blog.
Lastly, just for the heck of it. Below are a handful of my favorite visuals. Enjoy.
Hey David, have great holidays!
Posted live from the office where I'm crossing last to-do list items before leaving for holidays (too!). Time to rest!

Hey David,
I've enjoyed your graphics for a while now. They allow for the synthesis of complex networks and information flow.
Keep them coming.
Although this blog post makes me think that there has to be a better way for you to catalog them. It doesn't do justice to the collection.
Ok off my soapbox

Thanks Luc, you have a great vacation.
Sean, I agree—I'm still waiting for someone to approach me with a book deal to publish the visuals. And these are only a fraction of them!

David
What are you reading whilst on holiday?
I am reading the latest Harry Potter (all about wizards & magic), 'The New Influencers' by Paul Gillin (all about the magic of social media) and re-reading 'Traders, Guns & Money' by Satyajit Das (all about finacial engineering wizardry).
Have a great break.

I'm a Long Islander myself, grew up in Hauppauge! Enjoy your vacation! If you're going to be in NYC, gimme' a holler and I'll buy you a beer in Soho!

Your charts and graphics are always interesting, insightful and stimulating.
