In Boogie Wonderland with my Shining Star. We took the cats (aka my parents) to Earth, Wind & Fire last night. Experiencing them live - 10/10 🔥 Watching dad get down to “Let’s Groove” - 18/10 🕺🏻

If you wake up and do leg day first thing in the morning, you can do anything. Bring it on Tuesday 🦵
Work calls during FIFA games are just rude. LIKE HOW IS SWITZERLAND SUPPOSED TO WIN IF IM NOT COACHING THEM FROM THE COMFORT OF MY COUCH Embolo pull thru for us baby, Hopp Schwiiz 🇨🇭⚽️
when WebMD came out, patients started self diagnosing before walking into doctors offices. with GPTs, clients are now writing code before developers can even define the biz problem. this will sound odd - but we need to become more problem-oriented. folks are putting the AI cart before the horse.
Blue Light Glasses Mode Activated 👓 There will be no poll. This is it. This is the new look.
The funny part is I’m mostly a people pleaser. But there are instances - especially as a contractor - where you need to be careful about overcommitting yourself. In consulting world, scopes, timelines, & SLAs are sacred. If a client jeopardizes a timeline, it warrants a tough convo.

Connecting a private GH repo to PBI is an incredibly frustrating experience. It's up there with date handling in JS. Maybe worse. Yes, definitely worse.
Year 3 of being an LLC, I guess we’re doing this thing huh.
Next week I'll give a talk on how to "Guide the View" in DataViz (likely with a bit of love coding in our "#ggplot2 uncharted" setup 🤩) Save your spot and sign up here 👉 luma.com/z5ea6oew #datavisualization #rstats #learning

Some charts make you work way too hard. You scan, squint, hunt for the legend, and still aren't sure what you're supposed to take away. In this talk, Cédric…

Day 8 #30DayChartChallenge: circular. Serious research happening over here...nyacht. Drawing as I learn, boy did I make some bad assumptions. Watercolor and ink. 🦈🦜🍔
Today, for Day 8 Circular of #30DayChartChallenge, I'm reflecting on my data viz glow-up journey. A few years ago I experimented with a global choropleth map encircled by a radial bar chart (ggplot2). Now I'm recycling this idea for an interactive data viz to visualize The Global Human Day (D3).
First ever posit::conf talk approved! Excited to co-present with the talent @jadeynryan.bsky.social on our project, Dirt Data Reports. 🌱 See you guys in Texas 🤠
so posit::conf... who's going? other cool data conferences on your list this year? maybe this is the year i see more of you guys out in the wild 👀

I need a video game to unplug my brain from work. PS5 or Switch. Hit me with recs 👇

I've been working on overhauling my site (again). This was also a perfect opp to show an old project some love for #30DayChartChallenge. Day 1 Part-to-Whole. Breakdown of The Global Human Day. It's an exploratory piece for curious folks who like to play with data! indievisual.tech/projects/viz...
