Visual alerts on tabular data

Folks, I'm looking for ideas and inspiration on conditional
formatting/alerts.

I've got a large table containing numbers. Numbers that exceed a
threshold (set elsewhere) must be visually obvious.

Interview with 9 kids, 12-years-old, Sweden - results

I used iMindMap (available for both Mac and Windows). It's not free, though
- I had to pay for it - and it's not too cheap, either (but not extremely
expensive). For me it's worth it though, despite some things that could be
improved (and the new version they just got out seems promissing)

Overall, the best on the market, I think.

[EVENT] Reminder: IxDA Austin // Tues, May 19 // Thinking Visually

EVENT: Thinking Visually: Just Show Me a Freaking Picture

To “think visually” is to transform complex, text-based knowledge or verbal
language into engaging and memorable visuals so the information can be
better represented, understood and remembered.Visual thinking is relevant
today because the density of information we deal with is the equivalent of
being soaked with a firehose of data - and it’s not showing any signs of
slowing.

Unfortunately, research indicates that when our brains find themselves in
situations of great complexity, they start to shut down.

Hi all
(apologies if you receive more than one of this notice)

The STC UK and Ireland chapter is having a two-day conference on
accessibility in Cambridge, UK on 13th and 14th June.

They have assembled a variety of top speakers on different aspects of
accessibility, including designing for all, learning about signing, meeting
the needs of Deaf people, and what's happening in the world of standards and
accessibility.

The full conference is a bargain at only £235 for both days, with generous
discounts for members of STC and affiliated organisations.

Who am I?

What do you call someone who sits squarely on the fence between interaction
design and implementation?

I am trying to new employment or consulting opportunities. I can find
opportunities for people skilled solely in wireframing and prototyping. I
can also find opportunities for people with nothing but implementation
skills. Neither of these is what I am looking for. I've been wearing both
hats for over two decades now.

Is the entire market focused on separating these two skills?
