#MakeoverMonday Week 24 – The Watercolours of Tate
First – I apologize. I did a lot of web editing this week that has led to a series of system fails. The first was spelling the hashtag wrong. Next I decided to re-upload the workbook and ruin the bit link. What will be the next fail? Anyway – to rectify the series of fails […]
#WorkoutWednesday Week 23 – American National Parks
I’m now back in full force from an amazing analytics experience at the Alteryx Inspire conference in Las Vegas. The week was packed with learning, inspiration, and community – things I adore and am honored to be a part of. Despite the awesome nature of the event, I have to admit I’m happy to be […]
Alteryx Inspire – Day 1
When I went to the Tableau Conference last year, I felt it was important to spend some time documenting my experience. Anytime I go to a conference related to my professional aspirations I’m always taken by the wealth of knowledge that’s uncovered. The Alteryx Inspire conference is a pared down conference with about 2,000 attendees. […]
#MakeoverMonday Week 22 – Internet Usage by Country
This week’s data set demonstrates the number of users per 100 people by country spanning several years. The original data set and accompanying visualization starts as an interactive map with the ability to animate through the changing values year by year. Additionally, the interactor can click into a country to see percentage changes or the […]
Workout Wednesday Week 21 – Part 1 (My approach to existing structure)
This week’s Workout Wednesday had us taking NCAA data and developing a single chart that showed the cumulative progression of a basketball game. More specifically a line chart where the X axis is countdown of time and the Y axis is current score. There’s some additional detail in the form of the size of each […]
#MakeoverMonday Week 21 – Are Britons Drinking Less?
After some botched attempts at reestablishing routine, #MakeoverMonday week 21 got made within the time-boxed week! I have one pending makeover and an in-progress blog post to talk about Viz Club and the 4 developed during that special time. But for now, a quick recap of the how and why behind this week’s viz. This […]
The value of Viz Club
I’ve been very interested in pursuing a concept I originally saw in my twitter feed, a picture of Chris Love at a pub with a blurb about ‘Viz Club.’ Following it further, I want to say that there were some additional details about the logistics: but the concept was simple. A few people get together […]
Dealing with data density
Recently I was on a project that involved working with data centered around one value. You can imagine the type: something where there is an intended value, or a maximum expected value. A good example from the Superstore data set may be something like “days between order date and ship date.” Typically you’ll come in […]
March & April Combined Book Binge
Time for another recount of the content I’ve been consuming. I missed my March post, so I figured it would be fine to do a combined effort. First up: The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin In my last post I mentioned that I got a recommendation to tune in to Seth and got the opportunity […]
#MakeoverMonday Week 18
{witty intro} This week’s makeover challenge was to take Sydney ferry data for 7 ferry lines and 8 months. What’s even better is there was another dimension with a domain of 9 members. This is a dream data set. I say it’s a dream from the perspective of having two dimensions that can be manipulated […]
