Out of the Blue – April 2016

Out of the blue

Interesting snippets from the world of data

There are some really new and interesting ways of visualising data, so in this months newsletter we look at a range of these dynamic, interactive and topical charts.  Hope you enjoy!

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?
Thinking about avoiding the measles vaccine for your kids?  This impressive visualisation showing the simulated spread of the disease may convince you otherwise…
Network of thrones
Someones had the time to do find out how the characters are connected in Game of Thrones – makes for interesting reading if you’re a fan.
Never been married
An interesting example of an interactive chart showing proportion of people not getting married.  Who knew that the employed are more likely to be married.
Obama popular in the Middle East
A cool bubble map showing the number of headline articles by topic.  Interestingly Obama is just as topical in the Middle East as he is in the US.
Beyond the sea
What’s really across the ocean from you when you look straight out? These maps show what you should see from different coasts around the world.
By the way, we have moved to a new workspace down Corsham St in Old St.  Drop by for a coffee or a beer (its free, all day every day!).

Hope you’ve had a great April – see you in May.
