I’m formulating a plan for inclusion efforts on vis.social, with the goal of making this a more diverse (and therefore more valuable and sustainable) social space.
But… I don't know what I'm doing! Please review and comment to me here, or in the doc:

Under the sun
There's one spot in the world right now,
where the sun is exactly overhead,
and it's this one:
My book is due to hit its 2nd birthday next week. Seems like I finished it only yesterday but work is due to commence on the 2nd edition shortly. I'd be really grateful for any satisfied book owners to submit short positive reviews on Amazon (or wherever they bought it) to help shape the nature of this 2nd edition release. The more satisfied people are, the less likely I will face huge amounts of changes, edits and beyond-scope additions. Thank you in advance!

New project on the FIFA World Cup: comparing how many times national teams participated (in #smallmultiples!!) Enjoy :-)

A question for the D3 pros: what tools do you use for data munging? Javascript, Spreadsheets, SQL (or an ORM), R or Python, something else? If you use JS for most of it, I'd love to know more specifics regarding libraries (or maybe you're just aces with Array.prototype methods)
I went to Eyeo and had the chance to meet @briromer and @duncangeere among others. Then I jolted down a few thoughts on the flight back to Montréal:
“Conferencing in the age of the Internet”

I am so unskilled with all things aural and musical that I am in awe of people with such phonic talents. This is inspiring: https://www.20k.org/episodes/thxdeepnote
Okay, this looks very cool and I've begun to see it all over the web. But do we really need a standalone JS library to create a specific visual effect? For backgrounds, specifically? 🤔
To the hordes waiting to join vis.social and upset that new registrations are closed:
I'm going to reopen new registrations again after we update to 2.4.1, as that should help mitigate the spam problem slightly with more rigorous email validation.
Thanks to @alexwein and @matth as the latest supporters of vis.social! Your donations help keep the lights on here. 💡🐘

Anyone in NYC should go see the Adrian Piper exhibition at MoMA, she has a lot of data-related work.
Let me know if you want to go together! I have $5 tickets and am definitely going again
