Design, Data, and Delicious. Linked: The New Science of Networks. Yay for the UX book club! It's always nice to participate in such inspired discussions. This month we had a great conversation about networks as described by Barabasi. I had a desire to ask if anyone wanted to play Power Grid. But held myself back, not wanting to disturb the natural conversation with my non sequitur. For the love of the grid. It's always amazing to me how much difference. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

bitsy on bits: James Squire Guide to Beer
http://bitsybot.blogspot.com/2010/05/james-squire-guide-to-beer.html
Design, Data, and Delicious. James Squire Guide to Beer. I love the way visualizations simplify decisionmaking. On a recent trip to Sydney I had dinner at James Squire,. And when deciding which of their signature beers to pair with my meal, the following chart made my task a lot easier:. It brought to mind this. Lovely number that was on display last year at Bobby Van's Steakhouse. By Barry Schwartz and Nudge. I'd wager the categories are endless. It highlights to me the importance of empathy in desi...

Design, Data, and Delicious. Apparently twelve people makes a cocktail party, twelve being neatly divisible by two, three, four, and six. I wonder how often we see naturally occurring instances of this kind of numerical relationship in Emily Post? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Design, Data, and Delicious. So I just uploaded my first processing sketch to Open Processing. I finished the first three chapters in the Shiffman Processing text, so stay tuned for more sketches! Oh the horror of those things languishing in the deep recesses of the storage spaces in my apartment. The truth is, I nearly killed my sewing machine putting this little beauty together, and am loathe for a repeat performance. Haven't you ever wanted to wrap yourself in a song? When I was in design school.

bitsy on bits: Location's Fourth Dimension
http://bitsybot.blogspot.com/2010/09/locations-fourth-dimension.html
Design, Data, and Delicious. While I was prepping for the Minnesota State Fair edition. Of the Foursquare Traffic Report. It became apparent that a fourth dimension is noticeably missing from the current discussion about location. Those of us who work with location-based data know what a pain it is to define where something is. We start with coordinates on the globe, a single point on a quasi two-dimensional plane. From there we look at area, but is that enough? Does this change the way venue administrat...

bitsy on bits: ITP Camp
http://bitsybot.blogspot.com/2010/06/itp-camp.html
Design, Data, and Delicious. Starts today and I'm totally stoked for a month-long marathon of geeky goodness. My project will be focusing on meta-visualzation, probably using Processing, but who knows? I think it would be cool for Open Data Wiki. To have a widget that shows the types of visualizations that work well with the types of data shown, or maybe an collaborative interface for categorizing information, like a simple virtual card-sort exercise.

Design, Data, and Delicious. Transparency Camp was great! I facilitated a session on intellectual accessibility and data visualization. The conversation started with the image below:. We continued our discussion for with a meta visualization, laying out the types of data visualizations that are currently out there on a scatter plot with continuum axes. I tend to think about info vis like this, as a matrix of options that fits into different families or categories. As a concept graphic, a venn's purpose i...
