I still hope to cover many more topics (an aspirational roadmap is <a href=\"http:\/\/econviz.org\/\">here<\/a>) using current and new visualization mechanisms, but given the time involved in producing multimedia content like this, I don\u2019t want to get too far ahead of having an audience for the content. The good news is with the content platform improving by the month as I tweak it, future content will be less time consuming to create.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I know I have to do some work to promote this content too, and do have a few ideas on where to start.
