21:54 pdurbin so I'm listening to http://datastori.es/data-stories-22-nyt-graphics-and-d3-with-mike-bostock-and-shan-carter/ and it's really good
21:55 pdurbin history of d3.js, etc.
21:55 pdurbin lots of good links in the show notes, especially the visualizations they discussed, i.e. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/02/us/politics/paths-to-the-white-house.html?_r=0
21:56 pdurbin and probably it would be best to look at them before listening
21:56 pdurbin but now they're talking about Vega: A Visualization Grammar - http://trifacta.github.io/vega/
21:56 pdurbin and this Python to Vega translator - https://github.com/wrobstory/vincent
21:57 pdurbin and this: "Clickme is an R package that makes creating interactive visualizations as easy as producing static plots in R" -- http://rclickme.com
21:58 pdurbin no links for these so I thought I'd jot them down
22:01 pdurbin 'Vega is NOT intended as a "replacement" for D3. D3 is intentionally a low-level system... Vega provides a higher-level visualization specification language on top of D3. By design, D3 will maintain an "expressivity advantage" and in many cases will be better suited for novel, highly interactive graphics. On the other hand, we hope that Vega will be convenient for a wide range of common yet customizable
22:01 pdurbin visualizations.' -- https://github.com/trifacta/vega/wiki/Vega-and-D3
22:03 pdurbin fun! Vega Live Editor - http://trifacta.github.io/vega/editor/
22:05 sivoais nice finds!
22:09 pdurbin :)
22:09 pdurbin sivoais: you should listen
22:16 sivoais I'll throw it on later! :-)
22:18 sivoais Right now, I'm hacking on something that uses the output of ctags and extracts comments from C files and puts them into a DB. Not quite sure what I'll do with the data yet, but there are several tools I could write... :-D
