One Year of DataViz 2016-2017 - Archive

After being inspired by the vlogger Casey Neistat and his several YEARS of daily well-produced vlogs I thought "Well I could produce a viz every day...!" Then I realized that the downside of what I do as a data nerd is spend most of my time scouring, cleaning, and figuring out how to tell the story I want to with a given set of data... so it'll probably be more like once a week. THEN, in about Mid-August my job at the University of Kentucky was eliminated as part of a departmental merger after 19 years working there and I thought, "Well, now's when I get to work on that weekly viz project while I apply for jobs!"

So if THIS TEXT is still here... it means I'm still searching for a job and if you've found me through the #dataviz on various social media... I'm primarily looking for employment in data journalism or some data discovery/exploration gigs but will take anything Tableau-related! I drink deep of the Tableau kool-aid!
