So. Much. Data. *heavy breathing*

So it's been a while since I posted. Sorry about the delay I've just been overwhelmed with WHAT to post. Right now I've got a lot of irons in the fire but the big thing is I'm doing a Tableau presentation on Friday which I've essentially had more than 2 months to work on and I'm only presenting for an hour! I've got WAAAAAY too much stuff to fit into an hour presentation!

I'm going to show off:

• My work in Import.io using Bulk Data Extraction from set URLs
• Data Sets of Interest
• UK Salary Data
• Lexington City Salary Data
• Twitter Data
• Instagram Data

So it'll be a busy day just showing where to get all this stuff and what you can create with it! Hit me up on twitter @wjking0 if you have any comments/suggestions/etc.

Kentucky Derby Winners Viz

After attending #Data14 the Tableau Conference it came to my attention after a session from Jewel and Crew that I should start sharing out all my #WeirdData that I enjoy viz'ing? I hemmed and hawwed about what kind of viz to do so I figured I would start with one from Kentucky (my current home). Here in Kentucky we love three things above all else... Basketball, Bourbon, and Horse Racing.

The Kentucky Derby is one of the oldest continually running horse races in the world. The data set there is pretty expansive but I was amazed at how hard it was to find. The data I ended up using I scraped from a couple Wiki's and I have some other data that I may enhance this with later (such as Purse collected). For now though enjoy playing with my first ever blog post and my first ever Tableau Public Viz. Comments/suggestions welcome! @wjking0
