Title: Edward Tufte course to be held in Providence (Forum)
Submitted: August 23rd, 2008 - 9:17pm
Edward Tufte will be presenting his one day course entitled "Presenting Data and Information" in Providence on Sept. 22nd. Edward Tufte "writes, designs, and self-publishes his books on analytical design, which have received more than 40 awards for content and design. He is Professor Emeritus at Yale University, where he taught courses in statistical evidence, information design, and interface design." Those who attend his course will receive copies of each of his four books. Also for groups of 10 or more registering at one time (via phone) can receive a 25% discount.
I have not personally attend his course but know several people who have and have found it extremely informative. I do have three of his books and refer to them often.
For more information about the course see here. Also the RI Library system has several of his books if you are interested in seeing his work.

I just wanted to highlight this news story for everyone. For all of us who conduct business travel to NYC or DC, this could be great benefit to the Providence/RI tech and educational communities. So it is a shame that they don't yet service Providence.
I wanted to suggest to all those who travel this route contact Bolt Bus (www.boltbus.com) to help make the case for our need here in Providence. As an alternative Amtrak which services these cities AND thoughout RI easily has the capability to add Wifi to their full suite of services.
Let us also congratulate Kipp Bradford, another member of the RI tech community. On several occasions I've had the great pleasure of talking with Kipp about his work at Bionica Corporation which was featured in a Projo article last year.
Kipp is also a long time member of the Providence Geeks and contributes his time to AS220 and Providence Steelyard.
So congratulations to all the honorees.
For any developers, here is a piece of property which could be turned into a co-work space. Located in South County it is easily accesible from both Exits 2 & 3 on I95. It also sits right across the street from a Verizon substation so running networking/fiber should be straight forward/cheap. And the area is well populated with URI professors and services, like libraries, which serve that demographic.
Full disclosure I have no relationship with either the current owner or ReMax realtors. I basically saw the building was up for sale thought that it would make a nice office or co-work location. And if I were a developer I would turn it into a nice office building myself.
