Narrative 2.0 visualises music. The music was segmented in single chanals. The chanals are shown fanlike and the lines move from the center away with the time. The angle of the line changes according to the frequency of the channel, while the frequency reaching a high level, the chanal becomes highlighted by orange.

Flapjax is a new programming language designed around the demands of modern, client-based Web applications. Its principal features include:
The Social Collider reveals cross-connections between conversations on Twitter.
With the Internet’s promise of instant and absolute connectedness, two things appear to be curiously underrepresented: both temporal and lateral perspective of our data-trails. Yet, the amount of data we are constantly producing provides a whole world of contexts, many of which can reveal astonishing relationships if only looked at through time.

Universe is a system that supports the exploration of personal mythology, allowing each of us to find our own constellations, based on our own interests and curiosities. Everyone’s path through Universe is different, just as everyone’s path through life is different. Using the metaphor of an interactive night sky, Universe presents an immersive environment for navigating the world’s contemporary mythology, as found online in global news and information from Daylife.

“Here & There is a project by S&W exploring speculative projections of dense cities. These maps of Manhattan look uptown from 3rd and 7th, and downtown from 3rd and 35th. They’re intended to be seen at those same places, putting the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands, both looking down and looking forward.”
“For a long time now I have been a great admirer of Matthew Hurst’s work and I’m continuously impressed by the works posted at visualcomplexity.com. So I decided it was time for me to try something like this myself.
What I did is write a program that is able to log in to a very popular German Social Networking website and grab some data from it. I grabbed the friends of my profile (only 2) their friends (about 100) and the friends of their friends (about 5000). I used PHP with cURL for that and saved the data to a MySQL database.
Your greeted with the cryptic message, “The surface of the earth holds a message for you. You just need to look a little closer.” Very Matrix like, but true with this very clever visualization. As the Jesse Vig the developer stated, “While working on a different Google Maps project, I noticed that a number of buildings looked like letters of the alphabet when viewed from above. This is the point where I should have just said ‘hmmm, good observation’ and gone on with my life. But I didn’t and that’s why this website is here.”
Over the course of the last week I’ve been working on a major overhaul to my website. You may have noticed some issues, however, most if not all updating has been completed now. The overhaul included switching my site to a new platform. This meant lots of redirected url’s including all site pages, permalinks, and rss feeds. If you have linked to me in the past all of your permalinks should be working. If you find an issue with any of my permalinks please let me know via my contact form and I’ll change them immediately. Also, all of my feed links have been updated. If you subscribe to my feedburner feeds you should notice no difference in your content. If you subscribe to any of my blogs via rss 1.0, 2.0 or atom all of your feeds have been redirected to my new rss 2.0 feed. You could also use the subscribe links at the top of the sidebar to re-subscribe to my feedburner feeds.
“New York Talk Exchange illustrates the global exchange of information in real time by visualizing volumes of long distance telephone and IP (Internet Protocol) data flowing between New York and cities around the world. In an information age, telecommunications such as the Internet and the telephone bind people across space by eviscerating the constraints of distance. To reveal the relationships that New Yorkers have with the rest of the world, New York Talk Exchange asks: How does the city of New York connect to other cities? With which cities does New York have the strongest ties and how do these relationships shift with time? How does the rest of the world reach into the neighborhoods of New York?”
“Mapjack.com showcases a new level of mapping technology. What others have done with NASA budgets and Star Wars-like equipment, we’ve done on a shoestring budget, along with a few trips to Radio Shack. Specifically, we developed an array of proprietary electronics, hardware and software tools that enable us to capture an entire city’s streets with relative ease and excellent image quality. We have a complete low-cost scalable system encompassing the entire work-flow process needed for Immersive Street-Side Imagery, from picture gathering to post-processing to assembling on a Website.”
“Jiffy is an end-to-end real-world web page instrumentation and measurement suite. The first beta was released on 6/23/2008, as announced at O’Reilly Velocity 2008. Jiffy was built and is maintained by the WhitePages.com team.”

“Lately I had same crazy thoughts on coding a javascript wrapper to manipulate images rendered on the server-side. I decided to do some test which eventually resulted in phototype, a client/server-side library, based on prototype, which supports all kinds of image manipulations. On the serverside the library is powered by combination of PHP/GD that renders the image. With phototype, you are able to rotate, resize, flip and do some other cool effects to images.”

“Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior. This new paradigm of data mining makes possible the modeling of conversation context, proximity sensing, and temporospatial location throughout large communities of individuals. Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling.”
“When we first launched the lab, we released a jQuery plugin that automatically preloads all images referenced in CSS files. We’ve found the script to be incredibly helpful in developing snappy applications where images are always ready when we need them. This post describes a significant update to the script which will make it even easier to integrate in existing projects.”

At its core, the Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is a concept and content mapping application, developed to support teaching, learning and research and for anyone who needs to organize, contextualize, and access digital information. Using a simple set of tools and a basic visual grammar consisting of nodes and links, faculty and students can map relationships between concepts, ideas and digital content.
“Macrosense is the world’s first platform capable of collecting and analyzing massive amounts of anonymous, aggregate location data in real-time. At the heart of Macrosense are powerful machine learning algorithms that process time-stamped location data and metadata streams from heterogeneous sources – GPS, WiFi positioning, cell tower triangulation, RFID and other sensors – and empower companies and investors to better understand and predict human behavior on a macro scale.”
Have you ever wanted to browse the bookstore shelves online? Zoomii is a visualization where you can do just that. To quote the founder, “Why Zoomii? Because I love bookstores. Spending afternoons wandering the shelves. Happening across great books I didn’t even know existed. But it’s an experience I never found online. Online bookstores are wonderful. They’ve got amazing prices, huge selections, and they’re open all the time. If you know exactly what you want, they’re perfect. But somehow I kept coming back to the bookstore just to browse. Zoomii is my attempt to bring online as much of the real bookstore experience as possible.” The application was created by Chris Thiessen. NIce job!
jQuick is a quick tag creator for jQuery written by Francesco Sullo. “During the development of the first releases of PassPack, I adopted Easy DOM Creation by Michael Geary to quickly manage the DOM elements. But, in january, with the beta4 version of PassPack I needed to overcome Michael’s library’s limits (due to the compatibility with Prototype). So I developed jQuick. I hope you find it useful.”
