I previously did some interactive data visualisations of the Sandettie Lightship Buoy Data to try and get an idea of how the air temperature effects the water temperature, and also to compare 2013′s extremely cold Spring to previous years. I did this by taking all the historical data available and plotting it on a single time series [...]

You can view the final interactive Flash version here: http://lab.zoho.co.uk/lab/nme-top-albums/ I had an hour to kill this evening so I added updated the NME Top Albums interactive visualisation to include the results for 2011 & 2012. “Dream Pop” seems to have become a popular genre for 2012. With “Indietronica“, “Neo-psychedelia“, ”Psychedelic Pop” and “Psychedelic Rock” all doing well. [...]

The HTML5 interactive charts can be viewed here: http://lab.zoho.co.uk/lab/sandettie-lightship-buoy-data/ With this year’s late start to Spring the question was recently asked – “would this have an effect on the summer sea temperature?” This question was especially relevant to some friends of mine who are booked in for solo and relay channel crossings. Especially for channel soloists, where a couple [...]
I started working on a new interactive dataviz yesterday and I am determined that this project is designed and developed using HTML5 rather then Flash. I have already started putting some bits together with Google Charts but just thought it might be useful to list some of the various dataviz open source tools/libraries that I [...]
The Flash based wireframe and CMS can be viewed here: http://lab.zoho.co.uk/lab/most-profitable-hollywood-stories/ I was going over some old ‘unfinished’ projects when I came across this interactive ‘wireframe’ and CMS that I developed. So I thought I would post it up. I was very disappointed I didn’t get to ‘skin this up’ but at the time I [...]
I have been using LinkedIn a lot over the last few months and I was curious to see how my network had changed/grown since I last used LinkedIn Maps to generated a visualization for it. Apart from the large growth in UX/UI and designers that I have connected with over the last year (burgundy) the [...]

When I started this blog in November of last year (2010) my intention was to try and do a couple of interactive data visualisations each month. I did managed to keep that pace up for several months but it has suddenly dawned on me that I haven’t produced any new Labs since March. I have [...]

I know the LinkedIn InMaps is not new but the analysis of social networks is becoming increasingly relevant to a project I am working on at the moment, so I wanted to revisit this visualisation app but also re-read some of the articles that where written at the time. One that was quite good was [...]
