Stories help us encode and understand our collective existence, underpin cultures, and help frame the possible. Describing the ecology of all human stories is an essential scientific enterprise. With the advent of the internet and massive digitization this ...

After grabbing a couple hours of sleep, I had an awesome time running the O2X Summit Challenge on Saturday with Chris Danforth and Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne.
Here's my Strava data. The course was considerably more challenging (and interesting) than I'd expected- way more fun than running up the ...
It's been about 5 years since I first stumbled across the Human Powered Land Speed [World] Record, and the competition for the record is certainly stiff. It just got broken a couple weeks ago with a run of 89MPH!!
Looking through the records, I had originally noticed that the ...
Overlooking building a visualization using native DOM manipulation (or jQuery, React.js), there are a whole bunch of libraries to help make visualizations. Here are just some:
Always a little tricky to figure out the details of these things.
