OK, its been forever since I updated my site. I suppose Ive been kinda busy with work and work. Its been nice to have projects that keep my mind running in overdrive.
I’m currently working at a company called Interlegis doing Java programming. I hope to post examples of things I have learned, but I’ll do that soon after our next release. (Strategic information for now…hush hush).
What I can share is my new found study of visualizations. There are tons of neat projects that focus on Data_visualizations. Basically, I was already fascinated with blinky lights, buttons, colors, charts and the like. This just formalizes into a paying job. Nice.
In short, data visualization takes a LOT of information and puts it into a graphic from which you can derive useful conclusions. Neat stuff. The nickle tour is Jeffs website. And by nickle I mean you can take his entire course (Stanford) online by just browsing his site.
Here are some sweet platforms that do this.
So Ive sold you on pretty charts…but your asking, how can I use this in my day to day life?
Here is a great example of data visualization. Check out these Wurdle visualizations of my site and JDs and ask yourself….which blogger studied more Math versus English.
(hint…my word cloud is big on “one” and “good”. Wait..I meant to call it an excellent example)
ME
versus JD
