Finally being able to merge together two data sources after a long long data wrangling process feels sooooo satisfying.

I must admit. I was dancing.

Now I can move on to the visualization part of the project!

Finally!

Looking forward to sharing this data driven visual experiment soon :)

ChatGPT just taught me something incredible:
You can do font-size: 1.2vw instead of the messy @media@mastodon.social screen and (max-width: 768px) {

Changing the vw results in larger or smaller font based on screen size! What else would you use this for?

Ok, shit. I ordered GoGo Penguin’s v2.0 on vinyl and it arrived and it’s so damn gorgeous that I now fear for all the money I will spend on vinyl …

But it’s ok – this is a great way to support the artists and, really, what would we do without them! 🤘

The poster for the Kyiv Book Fair.

Instant classic.

Ok, does anyone have a charting library they like that's relatively small and doesn't require shipping an entire JS frontend to work?

This song is perfect:

Rarely do I really love song when I first hear it. Most of the time I need a few rounds of listening to really get into it and then I discover all the beauty.

This is different. It just clicked with me. It's uplifting, calm, yet driven. Repetitive but still playful.

Just beautiful.

Having fun with some #scrollytelling basics: a scatter plot that changes between configuration depending on scroll.

I just wanted to have some fun here, so I reached for the great Datasaurus Dozen dataset(s) (https://jumpingrivers.github.io/datasauRus).

If you want to play with the #svelte #dataviz code too, find my REPL here:
https://svelte.dev/repl/e59b909384c04393af26be2eb7fa859e?version=4.0.1

A gif that shows a series of scatter plots from the datasaurus dataset. Depending on the scrolling the next dataset configuration is shown. The first configuration looks like a dinosaur (hence the name) and the subsequent ones include shapes of circles, lines, a star, a cross and more.

NEW POST: A profile of the contemporary data visualisation technology landscape.

https://visualisingdata.com/2023/06/data-visualisation-technology-landscape/

Includes my brand new and updated catalogue of data visualisation resources, listing and (roughly) categorising 300+ tools, applications, libraries, frameworks and utilities for making visualisations.

Also gives renewed attention to my Chartmaker Directory, with plenty of content updates, which provides some answers to the question: what tools can make which charts, and how.

It’s #ShowYourStripes Day.

One of the most well-known visualization of our days.

We took a deep dive:

• The three people who created it.
• Why it uses 1971-2000 as the reference
• How the colours were chosen

And more.

I find the Internet Archive a never-ending source of significant content.
And there even is a continually curated, easier-to-browse collection of graphic design related items that are available there.
Hooray!

So, here is the reason why I complained about #Blender the last few days: a schematic reconstruction of how the Nova Kakhovka dam broke.

I love the #dataSonification project by @duncangeere Duncan Geere & Miriam Quick.

It's aptly called Loud Numbers and you can learn all about it here:
https://www.loudnumbers.net/

In particular, I love the sweet and short podcast episodes they have produced about some of their sonifications: https://www.loudnumbers.net/podcast

I finally pushed myself and published my personal website:

https://sebastianlammers.com/

It's where I experiment with all things web, like #html #css #javascript esp. #svelte and #svg most often in the context of #dataviz or similar forms of visual storytelling.

I have also put my first blog post up, where I share some notes on #dataWrangling in javascript:
https://sebastianlammers.com/posts/data-in-js-00

It's a multipart post aimed to be very beginner friendly.

Enjoy!
