For some of us it means swag, parties, and wining and dining with deep-pocketed vendors.  For others it means submission deadlines, frantic mad dashes, and putting your work on display for thousands of people.  Some are done and some have yet to begin!  Which ones are you going to? What are you hoping to see there?  Visit the forums and let us know!

The VizWorld forums haven’t gotten the traffic I had hoped, so I’ve added some new plugins to add some new features:

• The forums now allow anonymous posts, so you no longer have to create an account.
• To prevent spam (From anonymous posts), there is a “Human Check” that you have to pass, a simple single-digit math problem

I hope that these changes will open the forums to more people.  I haven’t gotten hardly any answers on any of the weekly questions!  So go check out the forums and start posting!

After an eye-opening talk today by Ross Toedte, I’m inspired to ask a question of all my visitors:  How can Visualization and Computer Graphics be used to improve education in K-12?

It’s no surprise that the US has lost ground in the last decade or two in engineering, math, and science.  Is there more that the visualization community could be doing to help?
