New Portfolio

I’ve revised my web portfolio – giving it a new and improved look and adding some work (and details about old work).  I’ll probably continue to tweak it, but I’m pretty happy with what’s there now.  I actually did the entire design and development (learning Javascript and jquery in the process) in three days.  The …

Designing History

History is one of those things that most folk take for granted, but which most folk also realize is largely subjective (even if they may not think about it much).  I remember that in my own primary education, the Viet Nam war was never mentioned.  There was usually a chapter devoted to it towards the …

Data Viz

This may not be the most innovative data viz you’ve ever seen, but I think the following visualization I did of my musical listening habits for my Mapping and Diagramming course is quite nice, if I do say so myself.
