Charts, Deadlines, iPhone Voicemail and Aromatherapy Salespersons

* Juice Analytics has a nifty Chart Chooser for Excel and PowerPoint mavens. Free templates included. [Via O'Reilly Radar]

* Johanna Rothman ponders What’s Wrong With Wednesday for setting deadlines. She says “With a Friday or Monday milestone, what you’re really saying is that people can work overtime all week and all weekend to make the Friday milestone, so they won’t be late for the Monday start.”

* Quote: “[_] From time to time we offer to share our list of subscribers with door-to-door aromatherapy salespersons and ritual ax-murderers. If you would prefer that your data not be used in this way, please check the box.” Cluetrain

* David Pogue, of the New York Times hands out awards to ten innovative or unique features (instead of products) that were released this year. His first for 2007 goes to the iPhone’s Visual Voice Mail and says “Everybody knows that the iPhone’s voice mail software is not just one of the machine’s best features, but the way voice mail should be from now on.” I’ve been meaning to write about it, but this feature alone makes the price of iPhone worth it. And as Kottke said: “The design of the iPhone is such that all other mobile phones, including those released after the iPhone, look not only old but antiquated and even defective. IMO.”

* As a related note: Flicker knows the camera each photo was taken with and recently added the iphone as a recognized device. Check out all of the pictures taken with an iPhone.
