We used @sciam.bsky.social's 180th anniversary as an excuse to revisit an old favorite. Familiar with the efficiency of locomotion chart from the March 1973 issue?

WOW! Such an extensive #explorable #explanation by Bartosz Ciechanowski about the #moon 🌙 ciechanow.ski Amazing!!

🧠 Why do our brains absorb data better when it is visually pleasing? Earlier this year, at our #EUOpenDataDays, @tulpinteractive.com showed us how visual design shapes the way we perceive data. Watch the full session 👉 bit.ly/48daAxe #EUOpenData

Great original idea!!!

As I turn half a century old, I'm v happy to share a new touchdesigner tutorial. Recreating one of my old works Webcam Piano. Motion detection with frame differencing, MIDI, POPs, Python, GLSL and more. Also shout out to David Rokeby!👋 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVHf...

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links 2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands 3. The whole app is open source This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site. We 💙 the open web.

Our Rowboat tool is about instantly seeing what's in a dataset, so we added a Chrome Extension that lets you open random datasets from all over the internet. Right click, poof! 0.2 seconds later we see what this dataset actually looks like. No workspace to set up, no waiting for the app, no db.

Will I see you at Amsterdam Data Design Den #2? #ADDD I'm attending, spoke at the 1st edition myself. Highly recommended! luma.com/jxz7z65f

Working on the concept for a talk now, and even though chatGPT helps me, I would never let chatGPT write a full talk concept because it's simply not the quality level, not enough eye for detail and overall consistency that I would require. Just so you know ;-)

My most popular interactive @observablehq.com notebook, Math for Journalists, just got a fresh update! 🧑‍🎓 👉 Sample size and confidence: I explain how sample sizes work, like in a survey. 👉 Tests for statistical significance: I break down what "statistically significant" means. Link in comments! 👇

Despite a bit more silence on my end, lots of new and very exciting things are in the making, I'll keep you posted!

Well this was a delightful read. www.makingsoftware.com/chapters/col...

I sometimes re-watch @adobe.com 's #ProjectLincoln presentation from 2017 youtu.be/lX1BBMyY1bc?... But I must say, I always feel slightly offended when the host remarks: "... this is the first time I hear a crowd cheer for a data visualization..." 😁 #dataviz

I need some suggestions: what email client are you using that you're excited about?

Great post! I love interactive examples!

The good thing is, #AI does exactly what you ask! The bad thing is, #AI does exactly what you ask!

I must say, vibe coding something very interactive and very custom, even though I am impressed by #Claude Sonnet 4, not all solutions work (even after multiple attempts), complex (working) solutions, code duplication, no sense of overall intention. Good coding skills are still relevant here... #AI

Oh wow... #Arc browser seems to have some "aggressive" battery optimization, so when your battery is almost empty animations that previously ran smoothly may become sluggish. Plugging in your charger solves the issue... That's a new one for me!

vibe coding is nice... but it's still quite useful to have lots of experience yourself: co-pilot: "You're absolutely right! That's a much simpler and more elegant solution."

GitHub CoPilot is getting better and better, but it's still not generating Svelte5 code many times unfortunately...

🚨 Datavis Job Alert! 🚨 Permanent Senior Lectureship in Data Visualization. Exciting opportunity to join us @ giCentre, London to teach & research #datavis including our £11m Centre for Doctoral Training in Visualization. Feel free to DM for informal chat. www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/jobs/a...

Nice example use cases of computation in a physical environment, including the presentation itself.

Great thread!

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this! Site: svelteplot.dev Gregor's slides: www.vis4.net/slides/svelt... #SvelteSummit

Big WOW! And big congrats to @driven-by-data.net !! 🚀

charticulator.com does not look like Charticulator anymore...

It's online I see. Nice!

This is my favourite part! #dataviz #infographics

Just want to say that I find the animations of @bleuje.com very very cool bleuje.com/animationsit...

nice!!!

Here's a cut of some of my interactive and visual work from the past year. I'm looking for work! I'm looking for remote work developing, prototyping and/or researching on editors, custom interactive things, or visualizations. I mostly work in JS/TS. Let me know if you know something pls ty :)
