Wow, thanks a lot Kerry. Your links definitely help the ones like me to get familiar with the topics. By the way, if you could link us to anything about Iain Begg's talk, it is also much appreciated.

Iain Begg spoke about a data visualization based on the recent UK elections, but I haven't been able to find it online.

Can't cancel my RSVP, but I send my regrets. I am outside the downtown area and can't get back in time. Was really looking forward to this. :(
