Live at the Witch Trials: June 2015
http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Monday, June 15, 2015. When did we get too much stuff? How much more stuff can we get over time? Seems to get bigger each year and it seemed to me an ideal way to measure the amount of stuff we get to decide we don't want. Is a great site for old Argos catalogs. I Counted the total page numbers in each years catalog. I don't have the. I have tried to give the number of pages of the Autumn/Winter Argos catalog you get in the shop in any given year.

Live at the Witch Trials: Peak Loom Band
http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2015/04/peak-loom-band.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Saturday, April 18, 2015. I was talking to the owner of a craft shop today. She told me she knew of many people who were stuck with stock from the loom band craze of last year. Waterford Whispers reported it as " Parents Urged To Hack Off Any Child’s Arm That Comes In Contact With Loom Bands. Shows the craze's lifespan. By the end of summer all that was left was a bin of tiny plastic hoops at bargain prices. Are crazes lasting less time now? The Age Of Earthquakes points out.

Live at the Witch Trials: Uhaul Map of the US
http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2015/05/uhaul-map-of-us.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Uhaul Map of the US. You rent a Uhaul. The idea I saw first in Marginal Revolution. Seems to be where the whole UHaul weighted graph idea came from. Dan Armstrong. I took a list of the 34 most populous US cities (all over 500,000) from wikipedia. This is 1122 links in total. The 294 cities is 86142 total links. You only seem to be able to get containers not trucks from Honolulu, Hawaii. San Jose, CA. San Francisco, CA. San Jose, CA. San Jose, CA. Https:/ w...

Live at the Witch Trials: November 2013
http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Wheat Map of the US. I thought it would be cool to make a map of the US counties by how much wheat they grew. I took the code from this article. And from the Visualize Data book by Nathan Yau. I got some wheat data from here. The US department of Agriculture. The map of the US comes from here. The code to create this picture is here. Pointed out where to get data for countries. The code to produce colors for each country based on this data is here.

Live at the Witch Trials. Thursday, June 26, 2014. The Great Stagnation, Football Ball Edition. Since 2002, panel numbers have roughly halved every four years: 32 in 2002, 14 in 2006 and eight in 2010. Thus, by the 2022 World Cup, players should be kicking a single-panel ball around the pitch.' claimed Ken Bray here. I will call this Brays law 'The number of panels on the World Cup football ball will half every tournament'. This is not quite as epoch defining as Moore's law. But still cool I think. Fewer...

Live at the Witch Trials: March 2014

Live at the Witch Trials. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Lets All Move to No Insurance Land. Ryanair have finally set up their own country. In order not to buy insurance you have to select that option from the country of residence option. Because the UX of select insurance clearly is to choose from a country this option makes complete sense. If you are going to have a new country of 'don't insure me' it is clearly not in some sort of non country section of the drop down but resides just after Denmark.

Live at the Witch Trials: October 2014

Live at the Witch Trials. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Apple were never about home computers. Steve Jobs' first TV interview was in 1980 in Ireland with Pat Kenny. He talks about the apple being sent up on the space shuttle. Pat:'Do you actually believe that every home, in the short term at least, will have a personal computer? This shows a fair amount of ambition given it was 4 years before the Macintosh was released. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. A World Wide Web of Electricity.

Live at the Witch Trials: Sports in decline
http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2015/05/sports-in-decline.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. I read this interesting article in the diminishing interest in surfing. Can Anyone Save the Surf Industry? All the outdoor individual sports seem to have declining interest as measured by google trends. This could be to do with how people search google. But it does look like they are getting less popular. The good news is Golf also seems to be in the decline. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A World Wide Web of Electricity.

http://liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2015/04/englands-temperature-in-2014.html
Live at the Witch Trials. Sunday, April 19, 2015. England's Temperature in 2014. 2014 was UK's hottest year on record, says Met Office. What does that mean on a day to day basis? England has a collected data on daily temperature from 1772 in the Hadley Centre Central England Temperature (HadCET) dataset. Last year was the hottest year in this dataset with an average temperature of 10.94 °C. I downloaded this Hadley Centre dataset. And I followed this tutorial. Based on an original graphic by Tufte.
