Please check out a recent data viz project of mine :) https://www.behance.net/gallery/44858028/Festrack

Look at your shoes

There's your data boys. If your girl is planning a trip for spring break without you.. dump her lol
-
what did he mean by saying Data is the new soil? anybody?
-
nice talk, but the ad in the end destroyed it totally for me :( thumb down...
-
Information design my bum.. one of the first principles you learn is to avoid using reddish hues with green ones as color codes, because there are people out there who are COLOR BLIND!

6:19 Peak times for break ups. Makes sense.
-
This is informal. But dum i have to watch this for school

We are all in debt to the carbon sinks, it used to be the carbon banks. But the internet search engines don't reflect that phrase the same anymore, adapted metaphors i guesses.
-
Volcanoes & aeroplanes makes me think more of carbon off setting than neutrality.

What information does the billion dollar o gram show.?

Why did David McCandless develop the Billion dollar o gram?

A very thought-provoking talk that fits nicely with my current courses on problem-solving through comm tech and philosophy of tech in education. McCandless' discussion on visualization and on 'data as the new soil' reminded me a lot of Marshall McLuhan's notions of how the literate culture (the age of writing) is dominated by the eye (also reinforced by the coloured visualization of 9:20) and of his concepts of 'rootedness' and the need to examine the soil from which we are growing as human beings (i.e., how has technology changed the soil makeup? how does that affect our senses and ways of understanding?). I agree that I, too, find myself longing for large chunks of written text to be converted (compressed) into an image/diagram and am relieved when this happens. I think this longing goes hand-in-hand with the speediness of vision.

Great talk about how to turn complex data sets into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out hidden patterns and connections and even may change the way we see the world. It also provides some interesting real world examples with some unexpected insights.

This talk would have made my exclusive favorites list a number of different ways. His closing remarks alone bring a new kind of stunning realization about global warming and (more specifically) carbon emissions... The Iceland volcano put out less than we do every day with airline flights alone. Shocking.

Very enlightening.

i scrolled down here before the commercial started and i was like "what the hell did he just watch?"
-
Great video!! exquisite craftsmanship,stunning design,and unparalleled quality,will never be obsolete!!

Zornwil, he specifically said, "This is the landscape for violent video games". Not, "This is the landscape for media driven fear". Point? The media only discussed 1 subject, terrorism. Therefore, there WOULD be a gap in data representing the, "landscape for violent video games". My co-workers didn't understand that part either.

Does anyone know what the name of the first graph he shows is? The one with the rectangles of relative size based on data values? I'm trying to find a already built mechanism for graphing my data in this way but I don't know what to search for?
http://www.ted.com David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut -- and it may just change the way we see the world. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.
