Banish Tables
Tables are natural containers for data. Whenever information is presented, chances are excellent that it is communicated by means of a table. In many cases, however, when this information is complex (and the table, therefore, is large) a tabular presentation is difficult to parse visually and patterns in the tabulated data remain opaque.
You can use Circos to visualize tabular data. It's different, reasonably easy, available online, and sure to start a conversation.
It's also quite informative.
