"Numbers, Words and Colors"
This is a really fascinating look at some humanities-related visualizations. The speaker is Martin Wattenberg, who with Fernanda Viegas created ManyEyes, among many other tools and presentations. The whole thing (with Q&A) is about 56 minutes long, and shows a number of interesting (and unconventional!) applications. -- Carrie Weiner Campbell
