Hi, I'm Jesse. This is where I keep my stuff.

The word’s out: Many Eyes (and Visualization Lab) are now Ruby on Rails applications.  That’s something I’m awfully happy about.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Many Eyes for the New York Times

The Visual Communication Lab just launched a version of Many Eyes for the New York Times. We’re extremely excited about it.

You can go play at http://vizlab.nytimes.com. (They’ve rebranded it as “Visualization Lab.”) The Times has a nice blog post about it, too.

Like Many Eyes, you can embed live visualizations. In the spirit of the upcoming election (go vote!), here’s a wordle of Obama’s nomination acceptance speech.


Check it out! And don’t forget to read the credits.

North American Symposium on Sasquatch Research

The official opening party for the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute was a blast. I got to play DJ a bit at the beginning, which was good fun.

The always excellent DJ Ripley was the main provider of music. A good time was had by all. Plus it was a fundraiser for 826 Boston, our local (and new!) branch of 826 National. See more of Ben’s photos to get a feel for the event.
