I’ve had the idea to use a Venn diagram on the landing page of my personal site for awhile now. My life is and always will be best represented by a Venn diagram. I am happiest when my core talents (verbal, expressed in both writing and teaching; technical; visual) intersect in interesting ways — teaching math to fashion students*, starting a clothing line, building a natural language generator to compose sonnets using the vocabulary of classic novels. Writing about data visualization is a happy place for me since it combines all three of these things.
*actually that job was kind of awful but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
