Great perspective on how to think of social media as its own tech stack. Immediately rings true but had never thought of it in those terms.

I wonder if this technology could be used to train an emulator. For example, could you take the internal state of a Nintendo system and the image output as training data, and "teach" an emulator to run instread of coding those mappings explicitly? youtu.be/3UZzu4UQLcI

Interesting week in equity markets. Big tech companies still resilient, while almost everything else was down significantly.

A quick project to try out the Spotify data API.

I used to fly Cessna 152s and this makes me more than a little nervous.

Taking a look at the #Spotify API and noticed a lot of interesting song features. Any great UI's out there for visualizing playlists?

Made in #reactjs with Nivo over the weekend.

New d3.js tutorial is up on chartfleau.com. Happy with how it looks, but hard to gauge if it's written at an appropriate level for the audience. Let me know if I can explain anything better.

Neat artistic effect on these d3 maps. observablehq.com/@toja/pen-a…

Really interesting 3d visualizations, I'd love to know how they're made.

Going to write a tutorial on beeswarm plots in d3 this week.

Going to work on animating this with @d3js_org this week. #dataviz

I think more sites should be using Nivo for data visualization with #reactjs. Or are they already and I just haven't noticed?

Fascinating generative artwork.

Really impressive animation of Covid's spread in Singapore.
