My WWDC talk about Swift Charts is online https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/10136
Today at Apple’s WWDC, we announced Swift Charts, a new framework for making delightful, informative, and accessible charts on all Apple platforms. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Charts
What a difference two weeks make. More #poppy photos in the works. #landscape #landscapephotography

Lots of really cool features for making our devices more accessible from my colleagues at Apple announced today. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/05/apple-previews-innovative-accessibility-features/
For all those new to Mastodon, here is a fun fact. The software is named after the extinct mammoth but there is also a fairly popular heavy metal band of the same name.
Well, looks like alt texts are a thing but there is no nice label like on Twitter (yet). I asked for it in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18394.
New blog post! As part of the research on my upcoming books on colors in #dataviz, I wrote about what's wrong with the WCAG color contrast checks that lots of organizations use – and how data vis could change once new guidelines are in place: https://blog.datawrapper.de/color-contrast-check-data-vis-wcag-apca/
Today, I added a #DuckDB compiled to #WebAssembly backend to Falcon to show that we can interact in real time with million-record datasets.
Try the demo at https://vega.github.io/falcon/flights-duckdb/ (works best in Chrome for now)
I'm excited to finally share with you a four-part blog post series I've been working on in the last few months.

Kann ein Mann überhaupt Bundeskanzlerin sein?
important reminder that there are many #datavis histories, some of which are not receiving enough attention in teaching (pointing at myself). if we stick to the usual ones, our field's past is dominated by visualizations of war deaths, colonial exploration and capitalist trade.
