This is an awesome short blog post by a guy who’s finishing a Ph.D. in data visualization at UCLA — and who did a three-month internship at The New York Times. There are all kinds of wild and crazy ways to visualize data, but Yau reminds us that in journalism, the story’s the thing. (His excellent blog is FlowingData.)

Or, overhead digital video recordings could be used to calculate average walking speeds at various locations, if we assume that calmer people walk more slowly than stressed people. Also, we could see how average walking speeds and/or stress levels change over the course of a day at a given location...

Theirs this guy Christian Nold who's producing some brilliant 'emotion maps'. http://www.biomapping.net/ He basically gets people to walk around a city with a device that measures your 'Galvanic Skin Response', maps it onto google earth and produces this explicit (spatial) graphs. Worth a look! I just wanted to make a quick comment in regards to the ‘humanize the data’ post. Theirs this guy Christian Nold who’s producing some brilliant ‘emotion maps’.

A great visualization tells a great story, most of times we focus more on the visualizations (charts, slides) that we neglect the story. Next time you set out to design a chart first ask yourself one simple question - “What is the story?” and then create your chart to fit your story.

In the past couple of months, it has missed only a couple spam comments, and it has only labeled a couple valid comments as spam. That's probably better than 99%, given the high volume of spam comments. I’ve actually found Akismet to be outstanding.
