Started to work on some pictures I might want to use for posters.

Check out HowWikiWorks and the links to the other variants of the same diagram. I’m still not sure which one I like best.

I’m trying to explain what I like about LionKimbro’s images. Trying to be Visual:MultiVariate. All I can say is that the diagrams Lion uses in his web pages often affect me on a non-verbal level. This kind of “curiosity/aha!*hm...” feeling is what I get when I look at How Local Names Are Used. You cannot understand the diagram without reading the text. Looking at the diagram, however, I get the feeling that there are things in it that are not in the text. This feeling is what makes me look at it some more. Trying to “verify” the diagram. Rethinking the subject. I can’t exactly say what it is.*

I did. Do you recommend anything else? The two SVG based tools I tried this summer both crashed several times a day.
