📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

“Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤

A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Finished the onboarding on Substack with 2 publications:
- The "With Looker Studio" newsletter (migrated from Mailchimp)
- "As we see it now" for fields of data & #analytics in general

2026 will likely mean less LinkedIn and more Substack

As we start this year, I wonder how far the President 🟠 of all Americans can go before global decision makers decide to invest their money elsewhere, rather than in US companies under the potentially devastating grip of a lawless unprincipled President.

After Breaking Bad & BCC, V. Gilligan has delivered again. A huge shock: an intriguing plot, humor, splendid direction with superb long takes, R. Seehorn acting 😍...

After ytd's discussion with Myriam, I felt like creating my own version of the post's #dataviz.
I'm not a fan of mirrored line charts 🤨🪞🤨 & that's putting it mildly. I understand why that choice is often made, so I implemented a toggle. 😁

Always surprised that SaaS services like G Cloud, A iCloud, or OpenAI don't make it easier to reduce the n of invoices through prepaid invoiced credits, or through annual billable contract. I don't want to go through intermediaries for that.

My 11yo son came home from the school library with Orwell's Animal Farm. I told him every kid his age in USA should read it now. He asked why but I didn't want to spoil it.
Later, he came back to me & said "I get it. The pig builds a dictatorship". Yeah, that’s what the pig is doing, I answered.

How about we talk about dashboarding & reporting in an analytics world where generative AI is everywhere?
