A Few Links
Been a crazy month. I will start posting regularly soon. Here are links to two great visualizations and one article that were posted during the last month.
Stamen does more good work with their cab tracking piece.
Kind of related to the Stamen cab tracking is an article in the New Yorker from a couple weeks ago. It describes the methods behind NavTeq, which is the company/technology that makes all the on-line maps work. Interesting to think of Stamen’s viz in the context of the driving directions algorithms. Could cab speeds and road choices be used as traffic indicators – or maybe as the quickest routes from point A to B?
Jonathon Harris (w/ Sepandar Kamvar) also does more good work with “We Feel Fine“. The main piece is done in Java – but, love lines which uses the same back-end technology is in Flash. The visualization is great (not a surprise). But, equally exciting is the effort to structure emotional blog content. Cool stuff.
