19 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A fresh look at visualization from the author of Visualize This Whether it's statistical charts, geographic maps, or the snappy graphical statistics you see on your favorite news sites, the art of data graphics or visualization is fast becoming a movement of its own. In Data Points: Visualization That Means Something, author Nathan Yau presents an intriguing complement to his bestseller Visualize This, this time focusing on the graphics side of data analysis. Using examples from art, design, business, statistics, cartography, and online media, he explores both standard-and not so standard-concepts and ideas about illustrating data. Shares intriguing ideas from Nathan Yau, author of Visualize This and creator of flowingdata.com, with over 66,000 subscribers Focuses on visualization, data graphics that help viewers see trends and patterns they might not otherwise see in a table Includes examples from the author's own illustrations, as well as from professionals in statistics, art, design, business, computer science, cartography, and more Examines standard rules across all visualization applications, then explores when and where you can break those rules Create visualizations that register at all levels, with Data Points: Visualization That Means Something.

Ended up at 728 for the first two weeks. I am pretty bummed that I didn‘t even break a thousand — but I am going to ramp things up for the back half!

@StayCurious I forgot to post my points for #teamrednosedreindeer! Last week was not bad (for me) with 310 points!

Here is a picture of my daughter experiencing her first snow this past weekend - as it was the most festive thing on my camera roll.

wisherwishinguponastar That snowsuit is stylin‘! I hope she had fun!! 4y
slategreyskies She‘s so sweet!! Did she eat any of the snow? I remember my boys used to do that when they were little. 4y
PandaPanda @booksellerofyourdiscontent she did! Though as much as I love the snowsuit and want one myself she completely turtles when she‘s in it and gives monosyllabic answers to questions. So I think she hates it. 4y

PandaPanda @slategreyskies no she‘s a picky eater and I think that extends to snow 😂. She did keep forcing us to make snowmen even though it was not the right snow for that 4y

jessinikkip Me please, after all those games, to make sure Im on track 5y
BeansPage @jessinikkip you are at 86 darlin 5y
jessinikkip @TheReadingMermaid is that before all the games and my movies from yesterday, do you know? Id already added in yesterday and today's stuff 5y
BeansPage @jessinikkip yes sweetie that's after everything. That is your score as of today. 5y
jessinikkip Huh, okay... Thats what I had written down day before yesterday. But eh... Im not gonna worry about it. 5y
BeansPage @jessinikkip sweetie are there any posts that I've missed from you? If they do not have a 🧟‍♀️ then there's a good chance that I have missed them and not catalogued your points. But as for all the games that we've played, yes those points have been catalogued. 5y
jessinikkip Only one of my points hasnt gotten a zombie. On the ones with points per comments, do all comments we make count? And are we supposed to post them on our own page or just comment on your post? I just dont understand how we have almost 100 point difference between what ive added up as I played games and posted and what you've got listed. I just want to make sure I understand how the points are being calculated... 5y
Nessavamusic @TheReadingMermaid I‘d like to know my points! 5y
IndoorDame I‘d like to know! 5y
BeansPage @Nessavamusic you are at 60 points darlin 5y
BeansPage @MaleficentBookDragon you are at 52 darlin 5y
BeansPage @IndoorDame you are at 73 darlin 5y
BeansPage @jessinikkip I think I may have found the issue, are you counting up all of your points on that one post that had almost 700 comments on it? The Halloween ABC game? Because on that one I had to cut a couple people off at 25 points each. And I think you were one of the ones I had to cut off. 5y
jessinikkip No I only added in 25 for that one. I mean, I did like 30 some book titles in the game the other night. You said Id had 80 something before those on one of my post when Id asked. I was adding in the points from what I had posted plus adding up points from where I left comments on yours that said it was "X points per comment". Plus the book titles and other games that day. 5y
BeansPage @jessinikkip oh my goodness! Where in the world did we go so wrong? so how many points do you have counted for yourself so far? 5y
jessinikkip As of right now, not counting anything after midnight today (so after the book titles ended), im up to 170. I can send you what I have. Ive been keeping up with how many points and what it was for on my page. It shows what challenge I did for it. 5y
BeansPage Okay sweetie let me adjust your points for you. You have a 170 plus the five that you've recently acquired. So in total up to right now this very second you have a 175 points. I'm so sorry I got confused somehow I don't know where I went wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y
