Pictures of Numbers

A.M. said - "yeah everyone talks about you with those charts on your wall". In fact, I love charts, graphs, any pictorial representation of data. I carry them in my wallet, my briefcase, on the wall of my office, and saved in files on my computer.

It is the statistician in me - the need for a regression analysis, or a fit to an exponential curve. A desire to predict the future and to see the past - all in one picture. Give me a column of numbers and I will create a graph immediately. Why?

Because a graph is a beautiful picture of numbers. I guess I love art after all. :)
