eagereyes will be bloggier in 2015

I always mess with my site around the new year, and this year is no exception. In addition to a new theme, I’ve also been thinking about content. Here are some thoughts on what I want to do in 2015. [Read more…] about eagereyes will be bloggier in 2015

Data Stories starring Tamara Munzner

The latest episode of the Data Stories podcast has Tamara Munzner as the guest. They talk about her much-anticipated book, visualization taxonomies, and a lot more. It’s a great episode, well worth listening to.

Review: Wainer, Picturing the Uncertain World

Picturing the Uncertain World by Howard Wainer is a book about statistics and statistical thinking, aided by visual depictions of data. Each article in the collection starts by stating a question or phenomenon, which is then investigated further using some clever statistics.

VIS 2014 Observations and Thoughts

VIS 2014 – Thursday

VIS 2014 – Wednesday

Wednesday is more than the halfway point of the conference, and was clearly the high point so far. There were some great papers, the arts program, and I got to see the Bertin exhibit.

VIS 2014 – Tuesday

The VIS Sports Authority

For the first time in VIS history, there will be a way to exercise your body, not just your mind. The VIS Sports Authority, which is totally an official thing that I didn’t just make up, will kick your ass at VIS 2014.
