The Data Viz Challenge: Who Better to Win $5K with Mad Infographics Skills than an SPD Person?

We've got infographics on the brain, with the ART+INFO Master Class just two days away, and then, at the same time, it's tax season too. What a collision of events then to find this Data Viz Challenge from Eyebeam and Google, awarding a jury prize of $5,000 to the team (and they encourage teamwork!) that comes up with the best data visualization of how the government actually spends the tax money. We can't imagine there aren't some brilliant ideas for this out there in the SPD community, so get to it and good luck if the ideas strike you! (And don't forget us little guys when you're famous...)
