Week 2 #NFL drive chart #DataViz! Did a few visual tweaks and had to deal with random things like whatever the heck the Steelers did with that Seattle kick-off. If anyone has any tips on designing headers and borders then please let me know. I'm terrible at that bit! #DataFam #SportsAnalytics
The #NFL is back baby! And I’ve updated my drive chart #DataViz 📊 to show the whole week in one go! 😍 Interactive version available here including some really cool tooltip details 👌 public.tableau.com/views/NFLWee... #SportsAnalytics #DataFam #Tableau
Thought I'd try something very different tonight so here is my first experiment with QGIS - a neon outline of the Isle of Man and its famous TT course. I'm very pleased with how it turned out as a first quick go. #DataFam #Tableau #Maps #SportsVizSunday
Every week, myself and a couple of others do a round-up of some of the best #SportsViz we’ve seen. The focus is on the #DataFam but we sprinkle in other things to share inspiration and cool stuff. Use the #SportsVizSunday hashtag if you want to be featured! www.sportsvizsunday.com/post/weekly-...

Alcaraz v Sinner eh? What a final to end a superb French Open. There's been some remarkable tennis on show in both the men's and women's games which bodes well for the next few years.Onto this week's ...

Incredibly proud for my work to be recognized in the 2024 Information is Beautiful Awards Longlist Showcase! Turns out I really like my backgrounds to be on the white-beige-brown colour scale. www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/showcase?act...! #IIBAwards
This is a cool way to see whether a team won through overwhelming firepower, clinical finishing, being the least worst, or some combination of the above! #DataViz

A #DataViz tells a thousand words. In this case, they are all about the mauling in #SuperBowlLIX
Mo Wootten@woomo.bsky.social · 2y agoFinally got my #NFL #DataViz dashboards up! The first does single games like my original post below, and the second one does these whole season reviews which incorporate the single games too. And I added a little bit of drive info too. Just in time for the #SuperBowl #DataFam! Links below 👇
Super Bowl LIX matchups While both teams had impressive records and tore through the playoffs, not all units were elite. The Philadelphia Eagles have the advantage in three phases of the game.

Mo Wootten@woomo.bsky.social · 2y agoI had a go at making some #NFL drive charts! I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I wanted to go with something that felt a bit more minimal (I am forever inspired by @barelymaps.bsky.social) and believe it or not, this was the more minimal version... #SportsAnalytics #DataViz #DataFam

Sebastian Carl@mrcaseb.com · 2y agoI look at the drive charts of the 2021 divisional round matchup probably once a month. Let's hope for a game like this. #Chiefs #Bills #nflverse
Fascinating sociological observation. I hadn’t thought about it like that but now I can’t stop thinking about it like that.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 2y agoTheological is right: on some level a lot of the industry is convinced they’re building a machine God. Everything we know says people anthropomorphise “AI” capabilities, and overestimate them. It’s happened since Eliza. But “this time it’s different”.
If you're the kind of person who likes thinking about the sky (and I am!) this is a wonderful visualization to explore. So many patterns, each with its own story.
Cees Bassa@cbassa.bsky.social · 2y agoFor the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography
Dataviz people, what say you? Do dashboards usually fail?
Amanda Makulec@abmakulec.bsky.social · 2y agoDo dashboards usually fail? A quick two question poll here ➡️ www.surveymonkey.com/r/K6YGR6Z I'd also love your thoughts on how you see that changing and why. AI? More data literacy investments? New year, new opportunities to help people us data. #dataviz
This has been on my mind, is this true? 🤔 Yeah, I feel uncomfortable criticising others work because I often lack knowledge of the context and I know I feel 'attacked' myself the other way around (+still insecure on my skills). I would rather like for us to take a more positive stand 1/6 #dataviz
Some interesting comments & quotes in this post. Personally I see quite a lot of innovation, and people pushing the boundaries of things, but I’m in a relatively small corner. On the criticism, I think this is a side-effect of #dataviz being both inherently creative and a relatively new field.
Gareth Southgate's knighthood in the #NewYearHonours is a good time to reshare this #dataviz I made showcasing the new standard he set while managing the England men's football team. Remarkable stuff! #football #sports #DataFam public.tableau.com/app/profile/...
The designs of Krisztina make me jealous of her skills and great sense of style, but also simultaneously want to share with everyone in and outside the #dataviz realm. Brilliant is the word 😍 Have a look at her projects!
Krisztina Szűcs@krisztinaszucs.bsky.social · 2y agoMy personal projects from 2024: krisztinaszucs.com/blog/2024122... #dataviz
Massive congratulations to Keely Hodgkinson on her BBC SPotY win! Her gold medal was one of the most dominant British performances of the #Paris2024 Games (even with my rather rough and ready #dataviz methodology). 🥇🏃♀️🏆 📊 public.tableau.com/views/GreatB...
This is great advice for any analysis project as well as structured/academic research
Amy Tabb@atabb.bsky.social · 2y agoI stumbled on @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social 's blog and his "Personal Rules of Productive Research" is very good. I now do a lot of things in the post, & wish I had done them when I was younger. I share my "mini-paper" w ppl I hope will be co-authors. www.eugenevinitsky.com/posts/person...
I really like just about everything they do on NPR’s Tiny Desk, and Billie Eilish’s very stripped back set is a great example of why. Excellent adapted versions. youtu.be/fOAIrUZbOwo?...

One of the most surprising things about this is how often a baseball player has held the largest contract. I don’t think anyone would expect that if they weren’t familiar with the history of baseball.
Jared Beilby@beilby.bsky.social · 2y agoIn 1996, the largest contract in pro sports was Shaq's $120 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, it's $645 million higher with Juan Soto's deal #dataviz
We were amazed by this week’s creative data visualizations. Check out the latest Data Vis Dispatch for ridgeline plots on climate, symbol maps on hunger, and maps on the collapse of the Assad regime. See them all here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/data-vis-dispatch-december-10-2024/
This is fascinating. Really interesting to see how some rivers flow all over the place but others are more consistent in their heading
Dr. Dominic Royé@drxeo.eu · 2y agoWhere do our rivers flow to? Frequency of flow direction of main European rivers. You can see interesting things caused by geological factors. #geography #dataviz
