I gave a guest talk at Purdue on intro to data storytelling in 'lowercase'. Writing it reminded me of when I was a student and thought only one kind of story, the Big Story, could exist. Some of this feels obvious to us in the #dataviz space, but maybe it isn't. Slides: aman.bh/blog/2026/da...

My high tech solution to keep my work priorities in mind 📝 February ✅

New data art project in progress. Using p5.js, React and DuckDB. #dataviz

@csh.ac.at is hosting another Complexity Science workshop in Vienna! I attended in 2024 & can highly recommend it. I met many data viz practitioners for the first time in Vienna, and I'm happy to have seen quite a few of them again at other events since. vis.csh.ac.at/vis-workshop... #dataviz

I like these (relatively new) digital displays in some of #Berlin U-Bahn stations. A great addition would be highlighting a train when it's approaching from the previous station. That's the first thing I check. Then I know I have to take to my heels to go down the stairs to catch it. #dataviz

Currently working on a personal data art project with an enormous amount of data. Started with 451 million rows in one giant CSV file. After days of juggling with DuckDB and crashing my laptop, the data engineering step finally performant enough to start with the fun visual work in p5 🤩 #dataviz

Finally signed up as a mentor for DVS in the upcoming cohort. I've mentored privately / informally before, so now I am curious how good the matching works. I am so focused on coding custom charts, esp D3.js. No Tableau or PowerBI questions for me please 😬

Finally giving Bluesky another go 🦋 I miss the good, old Twitter vibes of posting also the non-polished, in-progress ideas. And with a limited character count also actual short content and not a wall of (AI?) text 🤞
