Thanks a million to @nicoledesignsdata.com for your positively glowing review of my book for Nightingale! 🤩
Aw thank you so much!
Thank you! You'll never believe where I got it: Boot Barn! Was randomly there once with a friend,fell in love with the vest, but left without because it was pricey. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I made a special trip to get it, though I haven't managed to wear it in an everyday situation yet.
TBH even though this was the maiden voyage for a vest I desperately had to have, I rather like the outfit without it better. Ah well, live and learn!
I'm wearing a black and brown floral babydoll dress with brown tights and brown calf-high boots (I really loved this outfit!)
I'm wearing the same black and brown floral babydoll dress, this time with a black studded denim vest, black leggings, and black ankle boots
Two party outfits for #TC25 after dark, days 1 and 2! #TC25OOTD Party #1 was a last-minute event for me so I had to improvise and do some wardrobe remixing with components from the outfit for Party #2 (tonight's!)

Giving my Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s a test drive this week.
It was an absolute honor judging #IronViz at #TC25. Each of the contestants did an INCREDIBLE job on their vizzes, and huge congrats to Bo on his win!

Oh yeah, cc @christinagorga.bsky.social 😄
Another day at #TC25, another #TC25OOTD! Representing #ironviz contestant Bo McCready (who is sadly not yet on Bluesky) with a tee that he designed and printed himself!
A picture of a scatter plot with 3 colors - purple, green, and blue - and it's very difficult to tell them apart.

An interesting color choice for a fake company, #tc25. Why purple, green, and blue?? #accessibilityfail
Heck yeah dude! I spend plenty of time in leggings/pants at home so I embrace every opportunity to wear a skirt or dress when I'm out!
Come to my #TC25 talk Relationships vs Joins vs Blends at 2:00 on Stage 7!
I'll show you how to configure each method, demo how they shape data differently, and talk through the pros and cons of each approach.
If you can't make it today, there will be a repeat session Wednesday at 9:30 on Stage 8.
I'm wearing a red/mauve high waist midi skirt, a chambray button-down shirt over a brown camisole, with a wide brown belt, crocheted avocado earrings, and brown calf-high boots.
Day 1 of #TC25, day 2 of #TC25OOTD!

Yay, can't wait to see you all!
OH MY GOD even as one who lives in Northern California, that was so scary! I was on the 30th floor and it just kept swaying! 😵💫🫨😱

What's up #TC25! In keeping with @christinagorga.bsky.social's tradition, here's my #TC25OOTD number 1, which I rocked at Data+Tacos this afternoon, and then at Data+Women this evening. Looking forward to a great conference! 🎉
My #TC25OOTD series returns on BlueSky and Threads this year. Trying to go more coastal grandma and Nancy Meyers’ inspired with temps in the mid-60s.
Please tag your #TC25 outfit photos and add/tag me too so I can repost widely!
We even made an appearance on the big screen! (pictured above)

I've had a great time the last couple of days at #INFORMS Analytics+ 2025 in Indianapolis! I was asked by an old college friend to give a talk. It was my very first conference presentation so I was really nervous, but as a BIG bonus, my brother attended this conference with me! It's been awesome!
Wow, how exciting! Congratulations!
Some people think today is Pi Day. Although the more accurate Pi Day is 22nd July (22/7), in honour of those who can't wait, here's one of my π visualisations from a few years ago (replicating an artwork on display in the University of Cambridge from James Holleyhead in 2003) 😊
It's completely deserved! ❤️
A humorous image showing "THE CREATIVE PROCESS" as a numbered list of 6 stages: 1. THIS IS AWESOME, 2. THIS IS TRICKY, 3. THIS SUCKS, 4. I SUCK, 5. THIS MIGHT BE OK, 6. THIS IS AWESOME. The text appears in white letters on a black background, styled to look like a projection or display screen.
