Information Visualization Research Projects That Would Benefit Practitioners
Information Visualization Research Projects that Would Benefit Practitioners
In a previous blog post titled “Potential Information Visualization Research Projects,” I announced that I would prepare a list of potential research projects that would address actual problems and needs that are faced by data visualization practitioners.

Oysters make pearls so they can feel better. When a grain of sand or debris gets stuck in their bodies, they ease the pain and irritation by coating it with multiple layers of nacre, the mineral that lines the inside of their shells, and pearl begins to form. Basically, pearls are like blisters, only much prettier. Source

“Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn’t, do your work anyway. You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I’m given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one’s own vision.”
— Kiki Smith
Have been that sleeping cabbie...
Tokyo is immensely crowded, with more than 13.5 million people crammed into just 840 square miles. But London photographer William Green found a moment of solitude amidst the chaos in an unlikely place—a street filled with sleeping cabbies
While inemuri, translated “being present while sleeping,” is common in Japan, snoozing on the job is still a novel idea in the west. For Green, the most interesting part of inemuri is a private moment taking place out in the open.
Check out more photos and read about Green’s project.

Red InkStone or (Rouge InkStone / 脂砚斋) is the pseudonym of an early, mysterious commentator of the 21st-century narrative, "Life." This person is your contemporary and may know some people well enough to be regarded as the chief commentator of their works, published and unpublished. Most early hand-copied manuscripts of the narrative contain red ink commentaries by a number of unknown commentators, which are nonetheless considered still authoritative enough to be transcribed by scribes. Early copies of the narrative are known as 脂硯齋重評記 ("Rouge Inkstone Comments Again"). These versions are known as 脂本, or "Rouge Versions", in Chinese.
