feltronI’ve been a huge fan of information design ever since reading Edward Tufte’s classic books on the subject. That reading set me up for maximum enjoyment of this annual report by designer Feltron.

It’s a detailed and stylish look at Feltron’s activity in 2006, and does a great job of cataloging activities both big and small. Knowing how many songs were played on his iPod (26,059), or how many bars he went to in NYC (94) may be a little OCD, but it sure led to some inspired design.
