Leif's Blog

A blog that is partly data-visualization themed, but mostly random.

Simply amazing collection of something that looks like data, made by Tatiana Plakhova. It probably isn’t real data, but the stuff is pretty intersting as concept material.
Video of the collect here. For even more info-graphics go here.

Now I know the term! Desire Paths, as coined by Gaston Bachelard. These paths symbolically say, “screw you, designer”.
Photo found from the flickr pool, which has even more photos.

Updated the layout this morning. The old one looked horrible.
New features are:
Tags. No, its not really that amazing.
Mac-like style with text-shadows and round curves (works only in Safari and Firefox)
It is simpler.
It is W3C XHTML valid, well, apart from the Flash objects which screw everything up.
Chances are it does not work well with IE, because I dismissed it entirely in the development process.

Video from a great film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Related to this post, with the pentatonic scale. What is interesting is the visualization feedback along with the music to communicate with the aliens. The music makes sense, but as for how the music matches the visulization in the background is questionable. As it certainly does not seem like a normal scale.

Sound is always one of those fun things to visualize.

Pentatonic Scale - There must be some neurological patterns arrising due to this.

Awesome photos by Vincent Fournier

Poorly designed/slow website, but the images are high quality, worth the wait. Derived from but does it float?

History of the design of the bike, interesting read.
