Can you predict when Lou Bega's greatest hit, Mambo No. 5, was released based on the names of all the women mentioned in the song?

Weirdly yes.

Building notes: How much area can this man fill with his conducting of Wagner's (kinda bad) opera? (Part 1) I wanted to make a cool animation entirely by code but was like video editing software is neat.

Hey kids wanna learn something about my least favorite opera composer using #python and #rstats?

Building notes: Behold the stupidest thing ever built in R, ye mighty, and rejoice! Looping Taylor Swift's All too Well (10 minute version) to pace yourself in a race against a literal train in Boston... But as a Shiny app. Come let's lose brain cells together.

I have built the stupidest #rstats thing in the world. What if you had to race 6.4 miles against a Boston train and you're looping Taylor Swift's All Too Well (10 minute version) and you want to know where exactly key lines will be sung on your race? I made a Shiny app for that.

#databs #python

Building notes: I can't stop playing Slay the Spire (send help) and so I must program something in Python Justifying my time wasted by making a short and sweet Python project.

A silly project in #Python to figure out if a specific card is worth getting #databs

Building notes: Quarto Closeread but make it tuberculosis in opera (FAILURE!) I was curious if I can add videos and audios for the storytelling effect. Short, simple, but ultimately a failure.

I wanted to add videos to Quarto Closeread.
I did with local video files.
But realized I couldn't upload such big files into Github.
Hours wasted whoops!

Building notes: What if we were French and being wiped out by a giant woman in Boston? Every year, a giantess paints an ever decreasing number. Everyone with the age at or above that number dies. Can we code this up in Python and animate this in R?

"Aw, wicked, this gommage’s comin’ down hard, I’m tellin’ ya"
A #databs love letter to one of the greatest video game to be released this year

Building notes: Using ggplot2 for a visual charade on musicals (Or how I bring whimsy to my wife's life) "I feel like if I can’t guess it, I’m uncultured; if I do guess it, I’m a theater kid… Either way, I lose," my wife said with the same enthusiasm of going to a funeral.

Using #ggplot to make iconic scenes from musicals so I can annoy my wife with a silly game of charades. I am 100% sure this is what #rstats was designed for.

TEASER:

Building notes: Remaking a piece of subway art that I had to stare at for a long time (because Boston transit can be like that sometimes) Exactly as my Lana Del Ray-like song title suggests. What again was supposed to be silly turned to be an interesting adventure.

I tried to remake a subway art in #ggplot2 in #rstats. I... semi succeeded? I learned that you can Voronoi diagrams in ggplot.

Write-up: Simulating linear regression Something I made before. Just a way to teach linear regression by simulation.

Just a repost of a previous document I made about simulating linear regression. Also showing off the Tufte layout from #Quarto! A little primer in #rstats

Building notes: Untitled Goose Game but make it ggplot Can I animate a goose chasing you down with a knife in its beak?

Can you incorporate a smaller animation into a broader animation in #ggplot? (Can you make a goose walk across the screen with a knife In its beak? Answer: Yes) #rstats

More of a proof in concept rather than an actual data-viz (I'm making a different one). But I worked in Python to create an interactive network of #musical motifs. When you click on the node, you can get the specific motif to play: #dataviz #python

The Week of August 4th I had a cold all week. And I survived. A very short update.

An extremely, extremely short update. I was dying from a cold AND from figuring out how to webscrape something. ChatGPT never helps me at all #databs

Building notes: Linear regression viz in 3D Listening to Chappell Roan’s new single “Subway” on an hour-long loop—can’t tell if I’m crying because of the song or the XQuartz installation error.

A fool's errand? Making a 3D ggplot? I had Chappell Roan's newest single on loop and tortured myself into getting something complicated to work when I found an easier solution #dataviz #ggplot2 #rstats

Building notes: The infamous sticky note from Sex and the City and R Some women walk away from their bugs. I turned mine into visual commentary. And just like that, it wasted HOURS of my life!

A weekend building notes for making something really stupid. I wanted a stupid image/gif to pop up every time there's an R error. It worked but at what cost.

#rstats

Building notes: Sankey diagrams I don't like Sankey diagrams for visualizing job offers. One woman's attempt to visualize it to her taste and realize her abject failure.

I'm trying this thing where I write as I go on a tiny project. I thought I could make a better version of the Sankey diagram? (Spoiler: it did not work out)

#rstats #ggplot2

The Week of July 28th Positron! Pandas! Oh My!

Hello world! First post. Wanna see what happens when a theater kid is really into #rstats?
