Last three months' listening from LastGraph

So we signed off on those flat lines, and now I have to do error analysis (to figure out the error in my correction). This white line on this graph (not mine) is my life right now:

The other thing I am doing at the moment. The thing in the pink circle is one of the galaxies I am interested in. The big star to its right is going to ruin my day tomorrow.

For the record, the original Last.fm graphs were made by Lee Byron (http://megamu.com/lastfm/ and http://centripetalnotion.com/2007/05/18/19:24:07/)

surely the average height of the WTC would be lower in 2001, if measured monthly over the whole year.

Well, that's obviously Fiscal Year 2001 (trade center, get it?), that ended on Sept 30th. That is why the difference on such a small graph is almost unnoticeable.

That, my friends, is discretization and it's a bitch.

that hurts to look at

it hurts my soul.

That is a weird way of looking at my model galaxy. Smooth.

And here are a couple of graphs I did for a film (supposed to be bad)

which scheme do you prefer? they both look fine printed b/w, which is one concern.

Some group placed little white flags on our quad, each for "at least" 5 Iraqis dead, and little red flags, each for "at least" 5 Americans dead, from the Iraq war. The red flags are mostly clustered in a tidy area in front of the sign with our school's name on it, and the white flags stretch on for several blocks. It is pressing my art buttons, my math buttons, and my social justice buttons all at the same time.

Here is the first flickr photo I could find of it.

This may be old news, but wau Songchart

Effect of Time on Perceived Relative Distance of Troubles

What kind of chart would you use to show, say, technological lag?

eg. you want to show, visually, a timeline of when the 486 became standard, then the pentium, then the p2... and then show when your company adapted the 486, ten the pentium, etc... and dsplay how long each took?

and, how the fuck do i make excel make whatever you recommend?

a personal favourite:

xp: opportunity to procrastinate, yay. Two options.

One is to plot the year of release against the year of adoption. The further above the line y = x the points are, the later it was adopted. You'd probably label the points with, e.g. "Pentium" or whatever rather than just put crosses.

Another is to plot the lag before adoption (i.e. adoption - release). The further above y = 0 the later the adoption.

does this guy know how to party or what

you, sir, are made of heroism.

i think i am going to go with the first one, btw... just figuring out how to make it. any hot chart-makin' tips?

Uh, don't use Excel.

Sorry. Actually, that should be pretty easy in Excel. Set up three columns of data:

1988 1998 1988

1992 1993 1992

1994 1995 1994

1995 1998 1995

1998 2000 1998

2003 2007 2003

Then plot column 1 (release) vs column 2 (adoption) as points and column 1 vs. column 3 (release again) as a dotted line.

That may be a retarded way of doing it in Excel. I haven't used it since the Pentium II.

lol postive

hey, dan m, why has AJ gone to IOP but not ApJ? What is up with that?

Still working on this paper by the way : (

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f325/caek/Picture2-3.png

Black circles = stars I mask out
Green ellipse = where everyone else says you find half the light
Red ellipse = where I say you find it

Curses.

Aren't those like exactly the same surface? What's the problem?

yeah, they're pretty much identical areas, but mine is narrower because my exposures were longer than they others are so I see more of the disk. This means that when I measure how flat the galaxy is it looks flatter than it does to everyone else. It's not a big deal at the end of the day, I just wish life was simpler.

Finished my poster for conference in Padua:

i was bored enough to make this quantitative visualisation

A _massive_ fuck you to this graph, which took me seven days to get right.

(Cause of the problem: a misprint in equation 7 of Nap0litano et al. 2003. If I ever see that mother fucker I am going to give him a slap.)
