Info goodies

Technical Communication Quarterly has a hefty interview with Edward Tufte (via kottke.org). He talks about a lot of things, including his next book. There's some good news:
TCQ: You have a new book coming out this year: Beautiful Evidence.

Tufte : ... Authors are worse than home construction contractors in their stupendous optimism about when something will be done. The book is already long, and I still have quite a bit to say.
On the other hand, he's almost done. He doesn't give a date or an ISBN, but he has posted several draft chapters:
