This isn't a fancy video and it isn't about programming! I'm just drinking coffee, clicking links, and sounding like an idiot who doesn't know what the Warsaw Pact is. But hey, maybe you spend your time struggling with awful datasets, trying to coax stories out of them, and you'd like an alternative approach?
SPOILER: Don't look for data! Just read Wikipedia, find interesting facts, click citation links. The citation links will often give you ideas on presentation, data, or a combination of the two (...or nothing, I guess, but that's life).
