Insane.
It's not an escape room where they explicitly tell you NOT to take pictures. This is an experience that BENEFITS from pictures and videos to create hype.
There's no way that's accurate
@JennyENicholson
Like 8 years ago I bought Sherlock Holmes on Blu Ray and the digital code that came with it was expired
I wrote WBDigital that having a poison pill as an integrated part of their product is like gouging me for Coke when I have a faucet that I can turn on for free
I don't know if you've noticed, but streaming exclusives are often, well...shitty
Well, I QUANTIFY that shittyness, and give you a few good reasons why you should treat
@PrimeVideo
exclusive shows with a healthy dose of scrutiny!
Client: "Can you make it more...visual?"
Analyst: "You have 132 bars rendered in 3d in 11 colors"
Client: "Yeah...but it just needs...some POP"
Analyst: Adds Bananas

One of my life dreams has been to have something I made hanging in a gallery
Today, I'm happy to tell you, that my piece "Sightings" can be seen in the
#Data22
gallery both virtually and in person!
Take a selfie with it if you spot it and tag me!
I never thought I'd see one of these in person much less hold one
Thank you

Hi, I'm Zach.
I take Data and Make Art with an eye towards Fun, Pop Culture, and telling Weird Little Stories

The characters making up the Disney Princess product line for
@WaltDisneyCo
come from a variety of backgrounds, kingdoms, and cultures
What DO they have in common?
An uncommonly high incidence of premature parental mortality

I showed my 8 year old Back to the Future for the first time this weekend
Apropos because the McFly Timeline has been on my mind
Time travel presents a unique opportunity to challenge conventional representations of time
Thanks you, consultants

Into my mouff, and den I bite

#CheddarPoetry
It's SHOCKING the amount of people who have "Data Visualization Expert" listed on their LinkedIn
Maybe it's my lack of confidence but that feels like hubris in most cases
@JennyENicholson
A services company that doesn't provide service anymore
A couple years ago we booked the tea party with Tiana and Naveen on the riverboat
My girls were so pumped
The riverboat didn't run so they set things up off to the side of the parade route and then when it started to rain
I thoroughly enjoyed this week's
#MakeoverMonday
Not a best practice viz!
Like so many, I took the opportunity this week to have some fun and incorporate a bit of artistic expression and personal storytelling
🍂👻It's OFFICIALLY fall, so it's time to watch some spooky movies (it's the law)
Check out this viz, showing 21 of the most popular horror film franchises and their relative critical quality
I'm a big fan of
@okgo
, their "Obsession" video inspired this
Let's make

No hacking, no trig, just Two excel sheets

Disney just LOVES killing off parents
While indicates only about 5% of young adults have lost a parent the incidence is SIGNIFICANTLY higher among Disney Princesses

Have you ever wondered what the connections look like between the different Tableau Ambassador and Visionary branches?
Look no further
I learned a ton (also, that I misspell 'visionary' a lot)
I get asked by people sometimes what the secret is to the amazing vizzes you see on Twitter
I gave a half hour talk about it the other day but there's a simpler answer
Make a lot of bad vizzes first
A couple months ago I saw a guy in a Trailblazer Hoodie and introduced myself, explaining I was big into Tableau
He didn't know what Tableau was, and it was a bit awkward
I strongly believe
#data22
is the beginning of a new era where Trailblazers and
#DataFam
grow closer
Congratulations to everyone who made the
#IIBAwards
Longlist!
I had 3 vizzes make the cut this year, and look forward to looking through everything you've all made!

As Autumn (
@aabattani
) showed us last week, film productions are skewing away from Original Content in favor of franchises
Watch as subsequent films release closer and closer together!
Thanks
