Exploiting nature’s own colour palette
Came across some really nice work by Melbourne-based Greg More of OOM Creative. Titled ‘Urban Forest Visual’, the CartoDB powered project allows users to explore a dataset of the City of Melbourne’s 70,000+ trees and appreciate some of the issues being faced to maintain their life span.

A short essay about interpretation, doodling, perceptions and people
Before I begin, let me concede that there is a good chance that, by the time I get to the end, this post might not go anywhere, it might not hang together well and might be rather incohesive. It is my first day back after holidays and I’m not on top of my game yet.

Appreciating the critical role of subject matter
I have written in the past about the way those of us active in the field operate within something of an artificial environment.

Announcing my planned training locations for Autumn 2013
Last month I invited those who might be interested to let me know of where in the world they would like me to arrange my ‘Introduction to Data Visualisation’ training courses. At the time I was specifically interested in exploring options for India and Australia but any location is of course feasible depending on the volume of interest expressed.

A reminder about following this site via RSS
As we approach June there is just a month to go until Google Reader is shut down so this is another reminder that if you follow me via RSS you will need to make some changes. If you’ve not already done so, your first decision will be to choose a tool to replace the job of Google Reader.
