I agree! Maybe a nice “theme” add-in for Xcelsius?

Would be nice to have a ‘retro’ pack to create visualisations like this.
I’d like to see those paper wrinkels in my charts. If it’s old, it’s probably true :^).

John, I think you’re illustrating my point. In general, yes, mortality data is useful, of course. But just because data is useful in theory doesn’t mean that a specific data set is going to be useful in practice. In this case, it’s deaths by month, which isn’t going to help much with the number of hospitals, etc., and more importantly, given the differences between all the states, it looks like a snapshot of randomness, and that’s not going to help anybody with their planning… Actually, that’s another point — a lot of companies DO try to plan today using data without taking into account of random variation.

One of my pet themes is that BI has to take better account of “fuzzy” data, helping average business people determine what’s real and what’s just noise. Experts can do this today with the right tools, but we need the application to do more of the expertise for us — and this is probably only possible in the context of an application (another reason why BI and ERP go together well)…
