energy savings - my bit
This blog page saves 15Watts of energy (that’s a 20% savings based on if it was a white background_).
Time waster article to prove it here… wait, this one’s longer.

Just started reading Envisioning Information by Edward Tufte for some prep at work. Any book that starts with:
The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensional; the paper is static, flat. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on mere flatland?
