I built streamgraphs and a variety of abstract visualizations, but kept coming back to these pies, which show the shrinking of the middle class and growing inequality of income distribution from 1979 - 2007.</p>http://datajamming.com/post/23483743939http://datajamming.com/post/23483743939Mon, 21 May 2012 12:10:06 -0400<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="800" scrolling="no" src="http://interactives.americanprogress.org/projects/2012/alqaeda/" width="600"></iframe></p>http://datajamming.com/post/22382558239http://datajamming.com/post/22382558239Fri, 04 May 2012 10:23:00 -0400<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="800" name="arizona-frame" scrolling="no" src="http://interactives.americanprogress.org/projects/2012/arizona-style/index.html" width="600" id="arizona-frame"> </iframe></p>http://datajamming.com/post/21730153162http://datajamming.com/post/21730153162Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:06:49 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m27vuaOprO1qc2xz4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Map of DC built upon building footprints.

It&#8217;s not (generally) social data. It&#8217;s useful to collect and aggregate, but only for the individual or perhaps a small circle of friends. Why isn&#8217;t there a place where this information can be dumped so it won&#8217;t clog the social networks? Like a personal informatics version of a Twitter/Facebook that has no social component but can be tied in to all the APIs easily. #lazyweb</p>http://datajamming.com/post/7423863816http://datajamming.com/post/7423863816Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:50:29 -0400<a href="http://datavisualization.ch/events/visualizar11-understanding-infrastructures/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Datavisualization+%28Datavisualization.ch%29">Visualizar’11: Understanding Infrastructures</a>: <p>“Visualizar’11: Understanding Infrastructures aims to tackle the big questions around infrastructures — the big systems that support global processes such as the production and transportation of energy and water or the provision of global communication and mobility.”</p> <p>I spoke at Visualizar ‘09, representing Sunlight Foundation.

As an outsider at most technical conferences, unconferences, BarCamps, and Hack Days, I&#8217;m pretty use to that feeling of not quite fitting in and having very little to offer to the discussion/conversation. That said, this weekend&#8217;s WhereCampDC was refreshingly different. Sure, there were cliques, in-jokes and insanely brilliant technical people, but for whatever reason, there was a very welcoming atmosphere. Even the most technical discussion of the weekend (<a href="http://mapnik.org/">Mapnik</a>!) was fascinating and friendly, if occasionally over my head. So, thanks to whomever organized <a href="http://www.wherecampdc.org/">WhereCampDC</a>. I had a great time.</p>http://datajamming.com/post/6477108760http://datajamming.com/post/6477108760Sun, 12 Jun 2011 23:28:57 -0400
