HOW COOL IS THIS TABLE?!
The table on the left shows my results for the first three tournaments I've played in Learned League. The green highlights are lightly-rendered bars.
I drew the bars in the table on the right in case you don't see them on the left.
Great way to augment a table.

Not being able to paste images in a reply on LinkedIn drives me nuts.
Finding the names of people I want to tag over here is difficult.
Sigh. LinkedIn was working well for a little while at least.

For me, three things:
1) I hope to learn things and be challenged.
2) I need to contribute things others find valuable, either original content or comments.
3) If and when I have something to promote (a course, a book, etc.) my hope is that people will have seen number 2 above.

Monday bass delights.
Live recording of Stevie Wonder performing "For Once In My Life." KILLER bass playing from then 18-year-old Michael Henderson. Apparently, Miles Davis caught one of the shows and told Wonder "I'm stealing your bass player."

Hey dashboard designers:
This may be controversial, but I think a dashboard is a terrible place to *tell* a data story.
But a good dashboard can be an indispensable tool for helping you and your organization *find* data stories worth telling.
