Proud to be associated with the team that made #DataLab happen. As a firm believer in transparency and open government, I'm excited to see this now open to the public. Check it out and learn how your tax dollars are put to use. cc: @kodiakstarr @AC4D @think5577

Does #TaxDay have you wondering about how your tax dollars fit in the big picture of federal finances? Your Guide to America’s Finances has info on revenue, spending, deficit and debt. #YourGuide #dataviz #DataTransparency #DataLab

Last evening’s @AC4D class included two outstanding & intense debates on the question of whether designers are activists or should be, a question I’ve addressed in multiple conversations, presentations/panels, and writings (e.g., medium.com/ixda/is-it-ethica…); what is your view?

Is it Ethical for Designers to Function as Activists When Practicing Their Profession?

We do this in my class at @ac4d. Both in-class practice and group critique of video from each team’s actual interviews. One of the most useful parts of the class, and one of the things that “sticks” the most.
