Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, and even a century. As aging humans, we can experience this, imagine this, and to a certain extent, understand this. But how can we understand 1,000 years or one million years? What about 13.8 billion years of cosmic evolution?
Filmmakers Alex Gorosh and Wylie Overstreet ask that, and then try to visualize it on a dry lakebed in the #MojaveDesert.

I need a job!
My PhD is drawing to a close.
I'm looking for post-doc research opportunities or web/software development roles, ideally a combination, as in digital humanities research.
My previous research experience is in heritage and higher education for the arts.
My PhD was about knowledge frameworks and the affordances of digital tools and representations in research, in relation to research reuse, transparency and inclusivity.
I would love to be able to contribute more to innovative work on research and knowledge representations.
I am open to new possibilities! In particular I am interested in the possibility of becoming involved in sustainability and biodiversity-related research.
I am a full-stack web developer, and have a good deal of front-end design experience. I am open to all opportunities, particularly remote working!
I am not great at this self-promotion thing...
I will be putting a portfolio site online soon, but am happy to share a CV with anyone who is interested in the meantime.
Thanks for any boosts!

Started this project with a neat little #visualization utility when I was first getting into #python. Project grew vastly over 5 years but the util has been mostly untouched
Went to use it yesterday and it was missing something I needed. Went to add it today and...ugh, what moron wrote this code? You aren't using #matplotlib right! Your strings are bad and you should feel bad!
I should add a LOT of features and modernity, but instead I just added enough to solve my problem #softwareengineering

Mini book review:
Johnson’s The Ghost Map, 2006.
A terse and lively account of the cholera epidemic, London at the time, and John Snow’s work together with Henry Whitehead and others. The grander arc on city development is a bit more tenuous and feels like overplaying Snow’s legacy.
Apparently gets the historical details right (unlike e.g. Tufte). Good pointers to further reading. Minus for not including a good reproduction of the maps.

Tried to go for a moody visual in the style of Blade Runner. Would have loved to spend more time on it and explore some other angles and lighting situations, but there‘s too much other stuff in the pipeline - so: finished, not perfect.
Once more Jan Urschel‘s tutorial‘s were instrumental for this piece. I‘m still trying to get that cinematic feel down, but his input and explanations have helped a lot.

Interesting #visualization of the servers where my Mastodon connections have their accounts. Try out the tool here, by @stefan https://data.stefanbohacek.dev/projects/fediverse
The distribution is about what I'd expect given my interests: a ton of people on the generic mastodon.social server of course, but #2 and #3 show a huge proportion of #cartography and #dataviz people on mapstodon.space and vis.social, respectively.
These sparklines on maps are pretty interesting. I read the choropleth as the main message and the sparklines as additional contextualization. Works better than you’d expect, but some are a bit hard to connect to the correct country. A cartogram solution may have been clearer still.
#Winamp #Milkdrop #Visualization I'm not certain how many people out there still like to play with Milkdrop, the visualization plug in for Winamp (it can be used in Foobar as well), but I can tell you for certain that the more powerful the graphics card you have, the more amazing it is.

OK maybe it's that I'm less than one ☕ in but I'm trying to understand this (hilarious?) flow chart from the NYT and I think I get the orange loopies (that's like some kind of chaotic discussion?), but the blue semi-loopies make no sense to me what are they representing? They seem to all flow the same direction, rather than being true loopies?

Made in Blender. Tried to experiment with some lighting setups and materials with a few tweaks in Photoshop.
It’s crazy how much you can get out of a visual and set the mood by simply color grading it accordingly.
Again Jan Urschel’s tutorials were instrumental in creating this. He has great way of conveying how to make solid design choices and what to look out for in order to make an idea pop.

Systems of Interpretation • 1
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/05/05/systems-of-interpretation-1-2/
Questions have arisen about the different styles of diagrams and figures used to represent triadic sign relations in Peircean semiotics. What do they mean? Which style is best? Among the most popular pictures some use geometric triangles while others use the three‑pronged graphs Peirce used in his logical graphs to represent triadic relations.
Diagrams and figures, like any signs, can serve to communicate the intended interpretants and thus to coordinate the conduct of interpreters toward the intended objects — but only in communities of interpretation where the conventions of interpretation are understood. Conventions of interpretation are by comparison far more difficult to communicate.
That brings us to the first question we have to ask about the possibility of communication in this area, namely, what conventions of interpretation are needed to make sense of these diagrams, figures, and graphs?

Just made a quick tool to visualize the network of Mastodon instances: https://github.com/dlozeve/mastodon-network
Inspired by this post by @judell: https://mastodon.social/@judell/110147142486697213
This relationship graph maps the servers in my recent home timeline. The arrows mean that someone on the origin server boosted someone on the target server.
I think it's a good way to answer the question: "Is it really possible to interact effectively across a network of diverse Mastodon servers?"
One of the things I'll be talking about in the stream tomorrow: Understanding that https://thi.ng/rstream constructs are essentially defining a #dataflow #graph much like you'd know from a node-graph based editor (a la Blender/Houdini etc.), only obviously with the difference of actually creating such a graph programmatically rather than manually via visual editing. Personally I find this programmatic approach much more powerful, but a visual representation makes it of course much easier to debug & analyze such graph topologies, also to explain & illustrate to others how data and state changes are flowing through the app/system and/or where to attach new features/nodes or optimize/restructure the topology...
Another massive benefit: This approach makes it much easier to build features such that only the most minimal amount of work needs to be done, helping to achieve better performance...
The attached diagram was generated with #Graphviz via https://thi.ng/rstream-dot and shows the dataflow graph for the image vectorization tool mentioned in previous toots.

New post: "Data Hierarchy Best Practices to Elevate Your Data Visualizations" by Stamen visual designer Caroline Carter.
"Information hierarchy determines how data is grouped and aggregated. In design, and especially in data visualization, all aspects of a dataset cannot be equally emphasized. In order for any element to stand out, others must fade into the background."
https://stamen.com/data-hierarchy-best-practices-to-elevate-your-data-visualizations/
Not sure how to correctly ask this question. So let me start with this.
Imagine you have a bunch of collected log files in slightly different formats, and you want to analyze them to figure out things like what happened, when it happened, and for how long it was happening. Good visualization would also be helpful.
(No need to have a live monitoring, just an analysis part)
What tools would be an adequate choice for that kind of stuff?
In #visualization there is a fairly clear consensus that color scales should be scaled perceptually, but compensating scaling of symbols when using area to represent number values is much more debated. Should we consider compensating for area perception as well?
Flannery’s experimentally derived exponent to scale areas is 0.5716. From experience I would say that compensated areas is quite rare in visualization nowadays.
