Data Visualisation Blogs You Might Not Know About

In Weblog on 16 April 2008 tagged Blogs, information-visualisation with 43 comments

A quick thanks to Nathan Yau for the plug over at Flowing Data...

I tried to add a comment there with some blogs I subscribe to (some already mentioned, some not) but I suspect the spam filter thought I was nuts to try posting 20 links. So here are a few other blogs/feeds you might like, if you like Flowing Data and came here from there:

My colleagues Mike, Eric and Shawn might also blog about info-viz from time to time, at least as relevantly as I do.

And del.icio.us, as ever, is indispensable for finding infoviz blogs.

Who have I missed? Let me know in the comments!

Pair Blogging is the new Extreme Programming

In Weblog on 6 October 2006 tagged Blogs, Design, People, Weblog with no comments

Ben and Kate are blogging, Schulze and Webb are blogging.  The former is possibly London's only left-brain/right-brain blog about contemporary dance, finance and food.  The latter is a space for thoughts, sketches and observations that aren't yet fully formed projects.  Both are worth your attention.

Also found this week (via del.icio.us/toxi) Matt Pyke and David Barrington are collecting graphic design inspiration from outside the field at Everyone Forever.

I don’t want Blogger, I want del.icio.us

In Imported, Uncategorized, Weblog on 1 November 2005 tagged Blogger, Blogs, del.icio.us, Meta with 2 comments

Like many people, I find that 99% of the time I don't really want or need a blog - I'm happy pouring links into my del.icio.us account instead.

If you subscribe to this blog via a news reader, I can recommend subscribing to my del.icio.us feed too. Since I'm usually pretty diligent at using the extended descriptions as commentary, you'll get more of what I have to say through that channel. I'm not much of a fan of inline del.icio.us links in blog feeds, so I won't be doing that here for the foreseeable future.

Information spaces meet physical spaces in Searchscapes Manhattan. A quick browse through the inspiration behind the project is well worth the effort, but I'm surprised the video for Alex Gopher's The Child isn't there.

If anyone has a copy of the Vodaphone advert done in the same style, I'd be interested in getting hold of it.

Also: Behind you! Bees! Or a pantomime dame! is back. Hooray for that.

If you can read Greek (unfortunately I can't), you might like my friend Evi's weblog, datascape. She's nothing if not prolific!

Plasticbag Visualisation

In Imported, Uncategorized, Weblog on 1 November 2004 tagged Blogs, Data, People, Visualisation with no comments

Last week Tom Coates asked for people to have a go at visualising his 5 years of weblog posts. Looking for any excuse to help with the beta-testing of the Processing environment, I gladly obliged.

Today it turns out that apart from Cal Henderson (a close friend of Tom's, who used the opportunity to take the piss a bit) nobody else contributed. How embarrassing! Nevertheless, it was an interesting diversion for a couple of hours. For an explanation of what I came up with, see Tom's analysis.

Anyway, I'll post the code here once there's a public release of Processing with which it will work. Until then, if you want to know more - or if you think I got it wrong - you can email me tom(at)tom(dash)carden(dot)co(dot)uk.

Computing for Emergent Architecture

In Imported, Uncategorized, Weblog on 30 September 2004 tagged Bartlett, Blogs, MSc-AAC with no comments

Since I'm satisfied with Blogger as a path-of-least-resistance to web publishing, I've set up a weblog called Computing for Emergent Architecture for staff and students on the MSc Virtual Environments at UCL.
