Introducing Overlap Atlas! Very similar to another little web app that I made a few weeks ago, making use of Android timeline data and Spotify data, I now have another little web app for visualizing overlaps of 2 peoples timeline data (or lack of overlaps). You can load one or more Google...
TL;DR Use codegraph to visualize dependencies within a Clojure file. Codegraph applied to itself will for example generate this graph: Here is how it works. The other day I wished I had a visualization of the dependencies in a piece of ClojureScript code that over the course of the year has...
Transmissions from a new project on the data frontier: 2013-04-29 23:11Z: Three days wandering landscape of one-billion-plus geolocated Tweets. Overstimulated. Devising computer-aided system to generate density fields. Will calm noise, help to answer important questions: How does global...

Editor’s Note: This article is a recycled concept from several years ago, updated with a new rendering scheme that made it worth sharing again. A while back, I created two fanciful maps of a hypothetical, earth-penetrating, inverse-squared burger force, as broadcast by the 36,000-plus domestic...
