Well wow. This is my first award and I'm so happy it comes from people I've looked up to for many years, who are also a big reason I'm interested in all of this to begin with.
Have a read 🙂

Can Bangalore's bus service be better? Of course. But as it stands right now, for me, it is the best invitation into the city. A few words of praise.

Could someone help me understand why most of Manhattan has no color in this map by @nytimes.com, showing Mamdani and Cuomo voters by 'commute type'? Is it not either public transit or cars, why is most blank? Can I find this broken down by type of transit (subway, buses) for these areas? #dataviz

"Their timing proved crucial. Had they started even a few months later, years of censorship data would have vanished".
A nice profile of our project in The Frontline. This wasn't just #dataviz but also data acquisition, which is a painful process in India.

A great post from @djnavarro.net, providing an accessible explanation of why statistics that can appear to reveal our ignorance may actually do the opposite. Makes excellent use of #datavis to provide visual support for the argument.

Experiments in visualizing crowds in Bangalore's metro station. The floor plans come in SVG formats, so I solved this by managing to constrain rendering clusters within a polygon with a certain color code (platform color is always consistent) :P

Today, @vonter.bsky.social and I launched cbfc.watch, an archive of over 100k censorship records for ~18k movies released in India since 2017. For the first time, you can search for any movie and see how they were modified before release.

Big into doing long walks now. This is a 31 km walk I did from central Bangalore through the peripheries so I could get to the other end of a newly opened metro line and ride it back.

Hmm, is it possible for people like me who graduated with a degree in design but want to do a master's in something like statistics? I have a deep interest in data and some experience building and doing stuff, like at diagramchasing.fun and aman.bh but I would love to study the core subject more.

Can a README file become a "dashboard" with #dataviz? Maybe.
My web design module has students submitting daily journal entries as Github Issues, which means I can use the API and Github Actions to do all sorts of neat stuff. Simple processing and throw in some ASCII charts, you have a live dash.

Since you folks seem to like lengthy threads, let's look at visualizing distributions. I'll visualize one data set 16 ways and give some other examples of each chart type. #dataViz

In 2025 for a course on web design should someone be learning js/css/html specifics from scratch, or focus more on or design thinking/judgment/intuition + enough code to get you started.
How would you rather learn? I am not against LLMs for code (only PMF, imo) so trying to understand the balance.
