The point of the #MakeoverMonday project is to take an existing data visualization and improve it. But how can you improve anything that "The Economist" creates? They have such a knack for breaking down complicated topics into clean, clear and concise visualizations. So, when I...
The idea behind this blog post is to document a novel approach I have come up with to allow for date selection in a report that defaults to the most recent time frame. There are multiple ways this sort of problem can be solved. My...
Normally when I build a dashboard, I approach it like a funnel: I start with the big picture first and then narrow into more specific details. This allows viewers to establish context and get the most important insights right from the start and then choose...
I grew up watching college football and always remembered that iconic maize and blue. Now as an adult, Michigan football is somewhat of a family tradition. I watch their games every Saturday during the year with my friends and family, occasionally making the trip up...
Ottawa: Capital city to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Home to astronauts, comedians, musicians and more. The University of Ottawa educated the greatest game show host of all time, Alex Trebek, who studied philosophy (presumably because he couldn’t major in trivia). But most exciting of...
The #makeovermonday project, led by Andy Kriebel and Eva Murray, puts out a public data set each week, challenging data vizzers to find a different way to present the data. It’s a great way to practice your visualization skills and force yourself to work with...
Was anyone else fascinated with the American sitcom “The Jetsons” growing up? I know I was. The imaginative, futuristic world was so captivating to me, making me wonder if we would ever have holograms or talking robots. I was most intrigued by the flying cars,...
Note: As of version 2020.4, creating a map with multiple layers is much simpler than the dual-axis method described in this post. Check out the multiple map layer functionality here. If you are just looking for the TL;DR quick solution to mapping two spatial files of...
You’re a young adult in Tulsa in 2007 and you’ve got a date at a hip, new froyo place. You think to yourself (because you won’t listen to Mom), “Oh, that construction on 71st is so lame. I’m going to avoid it by speeding down...
This coming weekend, hundreds of thousands of people will be celebrating Pride in some of the largest gatherings around the world. In the United States alone, revelers in San Francisco, New York City and Seattle will come together to celebrate love, diversity and, of course,...
I was raised by a single mother. For many years, my mother was the sole breadwinner of the family. Though she worked hard to provide my brother and me with the best opportunities while growing up, she faced greater challenges as a woman than her...
As the World Cup kicked off last week, some Americans may have been surprised to notice the lack of the Stars and Bars being represented in the games. Even if you are a bit more dialed into the soccer community and were aware that the...
Around mid-April, I got the idea to get out of town for a few days to regroup after a long semester filled with accounting and MIS courses. I recently moved into the Data Engineering Intern role here at InterWorks, and I wanted to be ready...
As National Tea Day in the UK is soon approaching (21st April), I thought it would be the perfect time to create a viz dedicated to tea! After browsing online, I found datasets related to the production, exportation and consumption of tea. The first dataset I...
Despite the famous traffic and occasional earthquake, over four million people choose to call Los Angeles home. With warm weather, vast cultural and ethnic diversity, and Hollywood, many people want to pursue their creative dreams here. I am one of those people. Growing up on...
As someone who loves history, Boston was a great place to grow up. With everything from colonial gems like the Old State House and Faneuil Hall to cultural landmarks like Fenway Park and the Boston Common, the city is full of historic sites. Unfortunately, there are...
Traveling requires planning. Where do you want to go? How will you get there? Where will you stay? What will you eat? These are the obvious questions we ask ourselves when planning work trips or beach holidays. But what if I told you there was...
Everyone who knows me, knows I love pinball. To me, pinball is a wonderful mixture of art, physics, design and history that's intertwined into a gameplay that's both analog and digital. It's not just me, the U.S. has had a long love affair with pinball, starting with...
Bagging 14ers is all the rage in Colorado, right up there with counting how many days you’ve skied and how long you waited in line for brunch at Snooze. They are badges of honor that many of us wear to establish our belonging in this...
Living in one of the most populated cities in the country, San Francisco comes with many perks. There is an endless number of events, unique neighborhoods around every corner and good public transportation. Of course, with so many people living and visiting in such a confined...
