Visualization Friday – Back From Hiatus
Hey all, sorry it’s been so long since I put up some eye candy. Today’s posts come from the usual sources (flowing data and other various information design blogs) but I also wanted to point you to a new source of cool: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/
So without futher adieu, your Visualization Friday Posts (some pertinent to the display of information security metrics and knowledge, some just downright fun & cool).

Did you know about the Schengen Wall? Here’s a great map-based visualization about it found off of http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/walled-world/
JUST FOR FUN
The Total Eclipse of the Heart Flowchart.

Nice to see the Schengen Wall visualization, its Federated Identity IRL. The world is already federated, its just the security mechanisms that are lagging
