My latest viz on @tableaupublic.bsky.social looks at the continuing impact of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Do we need a reboot?

I was frustrated by my inbox. I read a study, and another, and another. Then I built a viz that looked like my inbox - a bit too much like my inbox! But now, finally, it's finished! Check it out #datafam

Major Chords, Minor Problems: Ludo Koelman Explores Patterns in Music | Ep 4 - Unfinished Vizness In Episode 4 of Unfinished Vizness, Ludo Koelman joins us with a musical take on data visualization — an ambitious Tableau project exploring how music theory can be seen, not just heard. What…

In case you missed it in the end-of-year blur, Ludo Koelman joined us with an unfinished viz focused on music theory. Expect playful exploration, creative tangents, and lots of “what if we tried this?”

I think this is my number one finding from last Iron Viz. Lack of sleep is definitely a disadvantage.

Ever decided to resize a dashboard full of floating elements?

And have you ever correctly predicted the required dashboard length of your Iron Viz entry?

Be kind to yourselves and find ways to minimise the pain!

I've definitely been guilty of going back for more data, right up until the deadline! I'm hoping to avoid that this time.

Sounds like...
Sounds like... ​@UnfinishedVizness coming soon - your all axis pass to the vizzes that didn't make it...yet.

A dataset with potential.
A design half-formed.
A filter that broke everything.

Unfinished Vizness is for the vizzes that got stuck along the way.

What do you do when a viz gets stuck, #datafam friends?

#UnfinishedVizness is digging into the messy middle of the creative process to show that everyone gets stuck and that troubleshooting is a skill which can also be a team sport.

Looking forward to bringing this to the #datafam

Ever start a viz that felt promising… until it didn’t?
Or hit a wall you couldn’t quite explain?
We’ve been there. We’re building something for that.

Unfinished Vizness — coming soon.
