#MakeoverMonday Week 17
After a bit of life prioritization, I’m back in full force on a mission to contribute to Makeover Monday. To that end, I’m super thrilled to share that I’ve completed my MBA. I’ve always been an individual destined not to settle for one higher education degree, so having that box checked has felt amazing. Now […]
#MakeoverMonday Week 12 – All About March Madness
This week’s Makeover Monday topic was based on an article attempting to provide analysis into why it is harder for people to correctly pick their March Madness brackets. The original visualization is this guy: With most Makeover Monday approaches I like to review the inspiration and visualization and let that somewhat decide the direction of […]
February Book Binge
Another month has passed, so it’s time to recount what I’ve been reading. Admittedly it was kind of a busy month for me, so I decided to mix up some of my book habits with podcasts. To reflect that – I’ve decided to share a mixture of both. First up is Rhinoceros Success by […]
Makeover Monday Week 10 – Top 500 YouTube Game(r) Channels
We’re officially 10 weeks into Makeover Monday, which is a phenomenal achievement. This means that I’ve actively participated in recreating 10 different visualizations with data varying from tourism, to Trump, to this week’s Youtube gamers. First some commentary people may not like to read: the data set was not that great. There’s one huge reason why […]
Makeover Monday Week 9 – Andy’s AMEX
So I started my dream job at the beginning of February. This means I’ve been spending the month adjusting and tweaking my personal schedule and working on bringing back good habits. In particular – I’ve missed out on doing daily workouts and consistently blogging about data viz. Fortunately I’ve been keeping up with the practice […]
Makeover Monday Week 8 – Potatoes in the EU
I’ll say this first – I don’t eat potatoes. Although potatoes are super tasty, I refuse to have them as part of my diet. So I was less than thrilled about approaching a week that was pure potato (especially coming off the joy of Valentine’s Day). Nonetheless – it presented itself with a perfect opportunity […]
Makeover Monday Week 6 – Chicago Taxis
This week’s data set presented itself with a new and unique challenge – 100 million plus records and a slight nod to #IronViz 2016. #MakeoverMonday is just around the corner – here is a preview of the BIG DATA challenge we have in store for you.https://t.co/KSUMWgxAb0 pic.twitter.com/2JvkfT1CdT — Eva Murray (@TriMyData) February 4, 2017 […]
Book Binge – January Edition
It’s time for another edition of book binge – a random category of blog posts devised (and now only on its second iteration) where I walk through the different books I’ve read and purchased this month. First – a personal breakthrough! I have always been an avid reader, but admittedly become lazy in recent years. […]
The Flow of Human Migration
Today I decided to take a bit of a detour while working on a potential project for #VizForSocialGood. I was focused on a data set provided by UNICEF that showed the number of migrants from different areas/regions/countries to destination regions/countries. I’m pretty sure it is the direct companion to a chord diagram that UNICEF published […]
And so it beings – Adventures in Python
Tableau 10.2 is on the horizon and with it comes several new features – one that is of particular interest to me is their new Python integration. Here’s the Beta program beauty shot: Essentially what this will mean is that more advanced programming languages aimed at doing more sophisticated analysis will become an easy to […]
