Geek Salad will meet Tuesday May 26 at 7-8 AM at Kaldi's on 9th and Cherry

I’m working on a white paper on EHR Usability.

One of our co-conspirators is Juhan Sonin, out at MIT.

He posted a blog entry recently on software design, with a heavy emphasis on “design”, titled “Design Axioms”.

Fun to read.

Has punch!

 

And here’s his mockup for a US HealthCard.

You might be interested in this Chartle at: http://www.chartle.net/embed?index=12965

 

 

The social data visualization space greets another member. In other words, the "early beta" and "Web2.0 ready!" service called [chartle.net] is joining the ranks of Verifiable, Many Eyes, Swivel, iCharts, Trendrr, Widgenie, Track-n-Graph and Timetric.

 

I am not sure what makes this portal stand out from the crowd. The charts are simple and have some interactivity as clicking reveals the data values behind. The are many available techniques, including the traditional bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, plots and diagrams, timeline and motion charts, and a "fun" category, containing Google-o-Meter, data gauges and organization charts. Having observed the general aesthetic and similarity of bugs, the engine behind seems to be based on the Google Visualization API.
