A week late, but here is my #MakeoverMonday for Week 48. I found this a particularly fun assignment. I did some additional research on the sounds a squirrel makes as I was not familiar with the terms Kuks and Quaas. Map inspiration from Nicolas Mieszaly, #Squirrel Census in Central Park, Tableau Public, here. Here is […]
I personally like trend lines, so I kept the trend line from the original article and added a bar chart to show the difference in ownership between the years 2015 and 2019. I also annotated the age where the largest increase in Smartphone ownership occurred. Here is the link to my dataviz for this week […]
This week I decided I wanted to experiment with Shapes in Tableau. I cannot help but think of big bags of money when I think of politics these days. I went to the Noun Project and found a bag of money with the UK Pound Sterling image. I showed the bags of money, the amounts […]
This week I decided I wanted to experiment with Slope Charts. The slope chart is the line chart’s fraternal twin. Line charts display three or more points in time while slope charts display exactly two points in time. Defined by Edward Tufte in his 1983 book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, this type of […]
I am slowly catching up on my #MakeoverMonday entries. San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. I recently saw a news special about this particular issue, and it frustrates me that this is happening to the elderly and poor. San Francisco housing and rental rates are ridiculously high, and if there is money to […]

This week’s #MakeOverMonday is in the books (so to speak). I have not read any of James Patterson’s books, but he is a prolific author. I created a simple vertical bar chart. To help validate my data, I used a list of books written by Mr. Patterson to compare the data against, and included the […]
With me starting my new job with USAA last week, I decided it was time for me to become more involved in the opportunities out there for us to improve our data analysis, data visualization and Tableau skills. For me, this meant starting to participate in #MakeOverMonday. For the record, I have never participated in […]
Readers: Disclaimer: I am a registered Independent voter. I tend to vote for those candidates who I think will best serve their constituents and our great country. The rest of it is just noise. I try not to stray into the realm of U.S. politics in my dataviz blogging. Having done so in the past has […]
