Hi, I'm Di, a data visualisation engineer in Australia.
I write books to help people make better websites. I also built Typey Type for Stenographers to help people practice typing over 200 words per minute.

What's the longest place name in Australia?
What's the longest personal name ever used?
What's the best text to use to try out a font?
I cover them all in my latest post! The most ridiculous test data I use to stress test designs and web implementations:

Australians are deeply concerned about misinformation online. More so than any other country among the 42 compared.
As usual, Facebook is a horrendous source of misinformation. If you use Facebook, have a think about verifying posts before sharing.

Today I discovered Safari's "Distraction Control" feature, which lets you hide distracting items. It'll be handy for removing elements that cover the content or have looping animations.
Most importantly, it's fun to dissolve them out of existence. Poof!

One mangrove tree can remove 0.3 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere over its growth life. Mangrove forests can hold nearly 400 tonnes of CO2 per hectare in their living biomass and in the top metre of soil.

There are ~3,000 snake bites in Australia each year, which lead to fewer than 3 fatalities.
Eastern Brown Snakes are the deadliest to people in Australia. They also remove thousands of mice per square kilometre of farmland each year, substantially increasing farm productivity.

Down under, you can use the Southern Cross to tell time and direction.
Aboriginal Australians are among the world's first astronomers. The southern cross forms part of the Emu in the Sky, a dark constellation, which has featured in storytelling for thousands of years.

One thing I enjoy about this social media chart challenge is that I can sneak in silly choices I wouldn't usually make.
Behold my gradient, lack of data point circles, and use of curvy lines!
I also don't have to spend time making it work at all the screen sizes and ratios.

I went on a lot of side quests in pursuit of a more complex and interesting chart than this but they mostly didn't pan out. Here's a simpler but shinier visualisation instead.
According to the ABS, lots of Aussie businesses cease trading in the December quarter each year.
