Dean Allen on Edward Tufte

Dean Allen, of Textism fame, wrote a fabulous article on Edward Tufte.
But, as a hilarious collection of pot-shots at the ludicrous meatgrinder of ideas that is PowerPoint, it is one satisfying read. The data is of course unimpeachable, and the examples are exactly right, but one wishes the key points were presented in a breezier style, like, oh, a bulleted list, with some lively colours and graphics. Ahem.
It's well thought out on somebody that has read his books, but did not drink the kool-aid. (I'm pretty sure I'm in the Kool-aid drinking group, a Tufte-ite)
