Review: Bulletstorm's Dick Jokes Are Stupid But Not Dangerous
Bulletstorm is the world's longest dick joke. The creators of this first-person shooter must be fascinated with the human penis. Don't get me wrong — the male reproductive organ is a rich vein of comedy gold. It's multifunctional, it boasts many names, etc. There's a lot of material there. But Bulletstorm just keeps harping on […]

There's a raging disdain and disrespect for this president unseen in U.S. political history. And it's because he's black. I'll say it again: it's because he's black.

Change -- even change you want or need -- can be scary. Some articulate these fears by saying: "I don't recognize my own country."

Featured news
The first has been spotted by Symantec, and comes in an email written in Japanese:
The attached file - Mandiant.pdf - opens a blank PDF and executes exploit code for a recently patched Adobe Acrobat and Reader remote code execution vulnerability.
"From our analysis, the exploit fails to drop any malware onto the computer. It is worth noting that there may potentially be other variants that are successful in dropping malware," shares Symantec's Joji Hamada, who also made sure to add that the email has obviously been written by someone who is not a native Japanese speaker.
"Could the Comment Crew [one of the names given to the Chinese hacker group described in the above mentioned Mandiant report] be playing a prank in response to the publication or did someone just make another careless mistake in performing the attack as is the case for so many of these targeted attacks?" he asks, but admits that they don't know the answer.
The second campaign was revealed by Brandon Dixon, security intelligence engineer at Verisign, in a post on his blog.
He says that the malicious file delivered via email is named Mandiant_APT2_Report.pdf, and once the victims try to open it, they are asked to enter a password in order to peruse it.
"Once executed on the system, a new process under the name 'AdobeArm.tmp' was identified running and the original Mandiant APT1 report is shown," he notes, then says that this same payload was first collected on November 6th, 2012 and is simply being reused without having been changed.
"The PDF itself has a fair bit of JavaScript in it that resembles the CVE-2011-2462 exploit from back in December of 2011. Embedded within the payload is the EXE written to the system, but also a compressed flash file and several JavaScript objects that also contain traces of 2011 code, again showing re-use," he pointed out.
The dropped malware contacts a domain that has been flagged in many previous attacks against human rights activists in Tibet-themed campaigns.

kangaroo Rating:1.0The Vinyl Starter Kit did not have all of the contents included in the box. There were to be 4 rolls of vinyl: black, white, leaf green, and dark pink. The box only contained the dark pink vinyl paper. There was also to be 10 feet of premuim transfer paper - there was none in the box. Additionally, there was no download card included. This product was ****** - we received about ** worth of merchandise.

Tue Aug 20 00:00:00 MDT 2013
vlroark Rating:5.0I am late to upgrade from the original Sizzix to the Big Shot. After attending a Sizzix demo, I realized that I was missing out on too many of Sizzix's products. When I saw the pretty new teal Big Shot with accessories (more attactive than the old black and pink), I knew it was the time to retire the old red Sizzix unit. My only misgiving is that the kit contained the extended multipurpose platform. I use the standard size dies most often. This platform is great in that it is one piece. However, when open for use, the platform needs quite a bit of clearance which is a challenge in my scrapbook area. When I tried to order the standard multipurpose platform, I found that it was discontinued. Subsequently ordered the Solo platform that I really didn't want because It only is made in the extended length, and is several pieces rather than the handier integrated multipurpose platform. But the Solo platform doesn't require the clearance of the extended multipurpose platform. So it would have been less expensive to have ordered the machine only and, also, the Solo Platform. The other goodies in the kit are not sold separately and are nice to have, but not worth having to immediately purchase a second extended platform when I really wanted a standard size.

1stamper Rating:5.0This set is full of whimsy and romance. The cakes would be great if you are making birthday cards for either adults or children. The roses and butterflies can be both baeutiful and playful. Enjoy
Sun Nov 03 00:00:00 MDT 2013
miyagi09 Rating:5.0Spellbinders doesn't disappoint. Very detailed, cuts and embossed beautifully. Sorry Prima, I won't be buying as many flowers from you now. Well worth the money and was less expensive than my local craft store.
Thu Aug 23 00:00:00 MDT 2012
redanne Rating:5.0This is a beautiful, full card-sized rose design. Just touch the inkpad over the raised embossed side and add color. Or you can put ink directly unto the folder from the pad before running it through the machine to emboss. The size of the frame is perfect for lots of card ideas.
Thu Aug 18 00:00:00 MDT 2011
ilovepapillons Rating:4.0These dies are great for making your own flowers. I am cutting it on a Cuttlebug and need a "C" plate before I can use these dies on it.

19nia86 Rating:5.0I was very excited to receive this product. I did not want a boring black one like the other companies offer and I really did not want a pink and black one our local store offered. This product was lower in price by $20. I am excited to use this product for my card making business.
Tue Oct 23 00:00:00 MDT 2012
min123 Rating:4.0I love that I can make my own roses. I use the big shot and this dies cuts in one pass. It is a little more difficult to remove the paper from the die,it sticks a little but it' not too bad.

Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 MST 2014
Rose M. Rating:5.0I've been making quilts for almost twenty years and have been hesitant about purchasing a die-cutting machine. After much research, I decided on the Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine Quilting Edition because of the flexibility of being able to use other manufacturers' dies and it would also meet my needs/purposes. I purchased this from Overstock because it had the best price and service. I did have problems with the first unit received, may have been a defect, but I contacted Overstock and they sent a replacement and I returned the unit with no problem. I am absolutely in love with my Big Shot and I have only begun using it. The pieces I have cut so far have been perfect and I can see a difference.
Wed Jul 20 00:00:00 MDT 2011
jillki Rating:5.0This set of 4 embossing folders is versatile and easy to use. The allover cupcakes folder and allover roses folders can be used either as a card front or as background, with something else added over the top.
Fri Sep 30 00:00:00 MDT 2011
1stamper Rating:5.0This set includes backgrounds, borders and frames. The one shown in pink produces paper that can be cut apart to use piecemeal for embellishments. From subtle background of vines to bolder background of paisley, this set does not disappoint.
Thu Mar 29 00:00:00 MDT 2012
claudia3126 Rating:5.0I have many Spellbinder dies & this is just another that I will use endlessly. Makes beautiful flowers. I go to YouTube a lot to get ideas on using the dies, so anyone buying this product might try YouTube too.
You don't always have to buy the gifts you give. Crafts make fantastic Valentine's Day gifts, and you can also use them to decorate your home and get into the holiday spirit. Here are five ideas for fun, easy crafts you can make and give this Valentine's Day.

Adnot Rating:4.0I make greeting cards and I like smaller images. This one works on an a-2 card. I wish the door on the cupboard had a backing or didn't cut the pieces out of the it. It is a pain to back it so it looks nice. The detail is nice.

See you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls Bitch you ain't think it was that deep, did you dawg? Cause see you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls [Christina Aguilera] Nobody knows I'm all alone Living in this castle made of stone They say that money is freedom, but I feel trapped inside it all And while I sit so high up on a throne I wonder how I can feel this low On top of the world it's beautiful But there's no place to fall [T.I.] For the record ay, I give a damn if I never said shit again My career was meant for me to come and tell it Honest interpretation of how affected I'm faced with Matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement But the day that I walk away I ain't saying that I'm amazing Down playing the way I kept fellas from catching cases Won't take into consideration how much it mean what I'm saying And when I say what I mean even when I'm sorrounded by the fakers From one of the greatest centers, blessed with most of God's graces Who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places So next time you rating royalty, I'm always being given to recordings than the level Of your loyalty, obvious you've been ignoring me Who else you seen make it through the storm, unharmed disjointed While all the critics was looking for Prince Charming Disregarded the king of the south raised doubt Even though he made a castle out of what used to be a house He did shit that all your favorites rappers only rap about But most of y'all don't see the castle through the wall...

Central Missouri Loses Donor Over Radio Host
February 1, 2010
The University of Central Missouri has lost a major donor -- a Dutch executive -- over his concerns about comments by a radio host that the donor found anti-Semitic, The Kansas City Star reported. The donor is a Holocaust survivor who has given to the university since befriending a former president of the university. The radio show host's comments -- on a station that broadcasts the university's athletic events -- were critical of the current president of the university, who is Jewish and who is leaving office this year, for not having a Christmas tree on the lawn of the president's residence.

Right from the installation process, the array of features both bolsters the world's best online protection and makes it the easiest to use.

To be cross that my friend said my baby has a small willy?
(92 Posts)Just that. She said he had big balls but a small willy (while I was changing his nappy). Why would you say that about a 4 month old baby boy?
Am I being over sensitive? I feel like this is just the start of awful sexual stereotypes put on him.
Your friend, op is an idiot.
Question your friendship from now on. If a friend can make such a crass and ignorant comment about his penis, I'd be wondering about her opinion on anything from now on.
So of course you are not being unreasonable.
Could you say "ooh your son has moobs!"
My DP likes to say how our tiny baby has a big willy. I just say yes dear it's already much bigger than yours
I'm sorry your friend was so tactless and unnecessary to boot.
I don't think it's U to be pissed off full stop. No need to comment on a tiny persons genitalia.
Next time comment:
Ooh nice big ears, but quite small eyes
Haha, why would you be looking at a baby's penis with a critical eye? Your friend is weird.
What does he have 3 of, ChunkyChicken? Surely not willies? if so, he wins
Very distasteful. I have a friend who comments on the size of her sons bits, he's now 13!! Got just sick of this and told her that if she made these comments to a social worker she might get a knock on the door.
Boundaries need to be kept and I would tell your friend that you feel her remarks about a child's private parts are unacceptable.
A friend of mine used to comment on my DS's willie all the time.
He was about 2 and she just started going on about what a huge willie he has and then compairing his willie to her 8yr old son's willie
She called her son's willie a peanut and my son's a whopper, I was mortified especially as she did this all in front of her son as if it was a big joke
Needless to say she is an ex friend that I haven't seen for years now.
And Donder!! Haha. Ok I feel better now about being cross. If she mentions it again (or similar crass comparisons) I am going to tell her off.
Not going to tell DH though or he'll be furious
"it's a very different shape to your brothers he must had got it from His fathers side"
Ahaaaaa haaaahahaha
Tears rolling down my face.
eltsih - I really want to meet your mother
No floggingmolly not 3 of anything, his willy is so substantial in size it is, apparently, so big it is as long as his legs & he could therefore be a tripod - I.e have 3 legs. I obviously watch childish humoured programmes to understand this
Ah, same problem as DH, then
I had a woman peering over DS when I was weighing him at the health visitor sessions. I walked a bit around to hide his penis and she came closer and peered right over me looking at him laying their naked. The hv was a bit shocked too, so I got the wipes and covered him and looked at her with a "WTF are you doing" look. I don't think she realised what she was doing and kind of walked off embarrassed.
Honestly, what is it with people and baby's willys? They're all different like different shaped noses.
Me and my firends had a mad run of baby boys. It'd be "come on then, let's have a look" then nod and agree it was impressive.
It was a running joke.
Simple solution, tell her she's got crap tits
This... And as for her comparing her sons penis with your baby's.. I've heard of "competitive parenting" but that really takes the piss.
Male genitalia - always a source of mirth. Few brave enough to ridicule a girl/womans nether religions though..
How strange. My dad (who is lovely, lovely) made a comment about DSs willy when I was changing him once. I can't remember what it was - not about size. I think it was because he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Of course you just don't say anything but some people don't have that filter. Perhaps it was that?

Logically, the data on the computer, while questionable, would not be considered evidence of any planned and executed murder simply because all the materials, or data, or internet discussions were NOT found in evidence at the site to show any referenceable connection, nor did these folks have any priors. So it will come down to a heat of passion event that will take whatever direction the Judge sees fit. Sadly this was just another senseless loss of life.

yeah my windows game buying criteria is 80+ metacritic (or < £3 if its in the 70s).
My linux game buying criteria is 70+ on metacritic...if I'm feeling tight. So I've bought some probably mediocre linux games to support the platform. That said I bought awesomenaughts and played it for about 4 years yesterday, that was quite fun and quite a surprise.
To be fair though, I have more than enough Linux games that if I actually put any effort into playing them all I wouldn't need to buy any more for quite a while...

CAMP BASTION, HELMAND PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- This British-built fortress, perched on a plateau in southwestern Afghanistan, is well-named. Surrounded by miles of open desert, the citadel has its own concrete runway, water supply, sewage, electricity, Level 3 trauma hospital, even fire mains -- all constructed in the past 30 months. The heavily armed camp is home to British, Danish, Estonian and Czech troops of the International Security Assistance Force. It's also home to Task Force 2/7 -- built around the legendary 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, out of the Marine Corps base in Twentynine Palms, Calif. -- a good place to prepare for this austere terrain and oppressive heat. Camp Bastion is an outpost of sanity in an otherwise insane part of the world.
Helmand province is the heartland of the Taliban -- the Islamic radicals who won a bloody civil war to rule Afghanistan in 1996. Once in power, the Taliban imposed strict Shariah law and brutalized the largely impoverished Afghan population. Taliban leaders also provided a haven for Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida to launch the 9/11 attacks. In November 2001, when they were deposed by the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance, many of the Taliban fled south to Pakistan and east to Iran. This spring, they came back -- intent on overthrowing the democratically elected government of President Hamid Karzai. That's when the Marines of TF 2/7 arrived "in country" to train and mentor Afghan army and police forces.
It's been a challenging assignment for the 1,300 Marines, sailors, soldiers and airmen of TF 2/7. The unit's area of operations is more than 28,000 square kilometers -- roughly the size of Vermont. There is only one paved highway. Overland transport to some of the 15 forward bases and combat outposts where TF 2/7 operates often takes more than 24 hours of continuous day and night movement. Until this week -- when four CH-53 transport helicopters and four Cobra gunships arrived, the task force had to rely on NATO aircraft for close air support, aerial resupply and casualty evacuation. Parachute drops of food, water and ammunition are regular events.
Before they could train their first Afghan soldier or national policeman, the Marines had to fight their way into the districts where they were to do the mentoring. Since then, they have had to battle the Taliban to keep their overland supply lines open. Lt. Col. Richard Hall, the task force's commander, describes the nearly nonstop gunfights, indirect fire and improvised explosive device attacks as "a very dynamic, complex and often hostile environment." That's putting it mildly.

December 15, 2009 2:00 am
ExxonMobil's move to buy XTO Energy answers the question investors and analysts have been asking about the strategy of the world's biggest listed oil group over the past couple of years.
The $41bn deal, which includes $10bn of net debt, brings with it a resource base equivalent to 4,500bn cubic feet of gas, mostly unconventional such as that trapped in shale rock, tight sands and coal bed methane. It also complements Exxon's similar holdings in the US, Canada, Germany, Poland, Hungary and Argentina.
And exploiting that unconventional gas will be a priority. Following completion of the deal, Exxon said it would establish a organisation to manage global development and production of unconventional resources, enabling the rapid development and deployment of technologies and operating practices to increase production.
"This is a significant day for ExxonMobil,'' said Rex Tillerson, Exxon's chief executive. "We're excited about the opportunities.''
While US natural gas prices are off last year's highs, Mr Tillerson stressed Exxon is never about the short term: "This is about the next 20-30 years,'' he said.
Indeed, many forecasts predict that demand for natural gas will grow.
Gas has adequate scale and infrastructure to replace a significant amount of oil use and is about 30 per cent less carbon intensive than oil and about 50 per cent less carbon intensive than coal.
The fuel is gaining support from legislators at a time when the world is looking at ways to reduce carbon emissions.
In October, the Congressional Natural Gas Caucus was launched to develop Congressional policy on the importance of gas in the country's energy portfolio. Sixty Congressmen have signed on.
Mr Tillerson noted natural gas's claim as a cleaner form of energy, following criticism of the company in recent years. Some shareholders and industry watchers have urged Exxon to move into wind, solar and biofuels to secure its future in a world many predict will run less on Exxon's primary commodity - oil.
Indeed, the Rockefeller family, the longest continuous shareholder of Exxon, made a high-profile push for such investment in early 2008, which Exxon thwarted with protestations that it would not invest in areas requiring government subsidies.
Yet even as many in the industry accepted Exxon's explanations, some wanted it to put its large net cash position - a record $60bn at the end of 2008 - to use. But Exxon continued to focus on buying back shares and funding its capital programme.
Many analysts, nonetheless, predicted this year that Exxon would pick up assets from companies under pressure from the credit squeeze, economic downturn and fall in commodity prices.
But the only other sizeable move by Exxon until now had been its bid in October to move into Ghana. And even that was seen as underwhelming by analysts, given the agreement to acquire a large stake in Ghana's Jubilee oil field from its private equity owners for about $4bn was uncharacteristically small for Exxon.
Still, completing that deal, which is currently tied up in political wrangling, would give it a toehold into what the industry expects to be one of the most lucrative oil discoveries in the world in recent years.
Yet the bigger focus has been on why Exxon, and the other US majors, were missing out on the unconventional natural gas play in their own backyard.
The small independent oil and natural gas producers, including XTO, have, in the past three years, increased estimates of US supplies from 30 years, at current usage rates, to 100 years supply, mostly by figuring out how to extract gas from shale rock economically.
Meanwhile, the Europeans have got in on the action. BP and BG Group of the UK; StatoilHydro, the Norwegian energy company; and Eni, the Italian oil company, have all bought into the US gas industry in the past year to not only produce but take what they learn about extracting gas from shale rock abroad.
And PFC Energy, a consultancy, estimated the unconventional gas move could be taken global, noting that advancements made by the independents in developing natural gas from shale could, if taken abroad, more than quadruple gas resources, increasing supplies of this alternative option to greenhouse-intensive oil, coal and oil sands fuels.
This makes the XTO purchase a good fit for Exxon, with its international reach. Not only will it give the company access to the US production boom but also brings with it a team that has the expertise and technology to make this a global play.
Still, there are potential pitfalls. Robin West, chairman of PFC Energy, the consultancy, noted the onshore unconventional gas industry has been dominated by smaller players, who specialise in the short-term nature of the business, which requires constant reinvestment and drilling to maintain production.
This is at odds with the traditional Exxon strategy of large, long-term, highly efficient assets. "The success of this investment will depend on whether Exxon can keep the XTO culture in its team,'' he said. "It's a different business.''

Data Feed: Reliability data for 41000 hard drives
Backblaze.com has released a huge dataset of failure rates and other hard drive stats for over 41,000 hard drives. Check it out here!
Backblaze.com has released a huge dataset of failure rates and other hard drive stats for over 41,000 hard drives. Check it out here!
Last year, I made a series of visualizations based on playlist data from my favorite local radio station, KEXP. Well, it's a new year and there's new data, so here I go again! First, let's start with the classic viz I made last year. This view shows the top artists, albums, and tracks of the year. The color denotes which DJ played them. You can use the dropdowns to view specific DJs or toggle between artist, album, and track.
Our big winner here was Spoon, not surprising as they released one of the best new albums of 2014. However, DJs must've been drawing from their back catalog a bit to get them up to all those plays because their new album was in 5th place when it comes to top albums. The top spot actually went to what was probably my favorite album of the year, "Sun Structures" by Temples.
By the way, if you look at the top albums and tracks, you'll often see an asterisk for artist. This is because the DJ assistants at KEXP who input all the playlist data can't agree if it's Alt-J or alt-J. Capitalization irregularities actually plagued this whole dataset, so some of the numbers may look a little lower than they should be. Another issue is when bands have song titles with the same name. For example, a track named "Feel" appears to be the second most played song, when in actuality that's a combination of plays for songs by Bombay Bicycle Club, Ty Segall, Big Star, and a few others. Unfortunately, you can't use combined fields in parameters in Tableau, so there was no way for me to fix it on this particular dashboard.
The number one song is "Red Eyes" by The War on Drugs. I was especially tickled by the high placement of the song "Queen" by local hero Perfume Genius. This song is amazing and deserves the number spot for the line "No family is safe when I sashay" alone. The video is pretty weird and rad:
The whole album is amazing and I couldn't help but use intoxicants and lay on the floor and listen to it when I put the vinyl on for the first time.
I wanted a couple dashboards that people could go into and make insights about their favorite bands and DJs. First, an artist explorer. You can use the dropdown to choose a couple different artists to compare. There's a text search, if you don't want to read through the whole big list. As a starting point, I compare my two favorite Seattle bands, La Luz and TacocaT. They seem to be pretty even in plays.
Next, here's a dashboard that looks at what DJs like to play. I've started out with infamous morning DJ and tastemaker John Richards. Man, that dude loves Strands of Oaks' newest album. Especially on Tuesday mornings at 6 am. In fact, he actually said himself it was his favorite album of the year. It's pretty fun to click on one of the artists on the right and see what time they are played the most.
This year, I really wanted to do something with the top 90.3 albums of the year. KEXP had a form up on their website in December for their listeners to vote for their five favorite 2014 album releases of the year. They tallied up the votes and ranked the albums and did a fun countdown at the end of December. I wanted to compare the ranks by listeners to how often those albums were actually played. That's how I got this nifty quadrant chart:
I've divided the chart into 4 sections. "High Listener Rank, High DJ Plays" means that the listeners and DJs were in agreement that these albums fucking rocked and should be considered to top honors. The listeners and DJs are also in agreement in the "Low Listener Rank, Low DJ Plays" quadrant. The interesting stuff is really in the other two quadrants. I noticed that in "Low Listener Rank, High DJ Plays" there are a few more local bands and just generally less known bands. This section is showing our taste-makers at work. I'd bet that a lot of people voted for these albums after hearing them first on KEXP. The "High Listener Rank, Low DJ Plays" section is interesting because it's filled with indie favorites: The Afghan Whigs, Jenny Lewis, Aphex Twin… these are some heavy-hitters. These are all pretty well-known artists outside the college rock scene, which is maybe why KEXP plays them a little less than some other bands.
Last up, I just wanted to make some quick points of things I thought would be interesting to know. For example, did you know that the artist with the most distinct albums played on KEXP was Johnny Cash? It probably helps that he made a buttload of them. Click through these story points if you want to see more stuff like that.
I think the third story point is especially interesting. I filtered the list to only show artists that only have one song played on KEXP and than sorted it by number of plays. So you can think of it as the ultimate 1-hit wonders on KEXP in 2014.The song that ended up in the top spot on that list was actually pretty cool:
Dig into those dashboards if you feel so inclined. And be sure to tweet me and interesting tidbits you find in there!
Happy 2015, everyone!
I hope your year is already off to a fabulous start! I've been thinking, I'd really like to set some goals for myself this year, so I'm making my DATA RESOLUTIONS. And I'm declaring them in front of all you people on the internet so that I'll feel at least slightly accountable. Ready…. let's go!
Resolution 1: Learn Python
I love using tools like import.io for web scraping, but sometimes it isn't enough. This year I want to learn enough Python to be able to do some web scraping and data formatting jobs.
Resolution 2: Improve Javascript skills and learn D3
People all over the web are using D3, including for some nifty Tableau applications. So, I want to as well!
Resolution 3: Grow the /r/tableau community
I've been neglecting my poor baby, the /r/tableau subreddit. This year, I want to get more happening with it including contests, discussions, IamA's with Tableau Employees and more!
That's enough for now, since these are all pretty big undertakings. What are your data resolutions?
Don't know what to get the data lover in your life for Christmas? Here's some of my top picks for data nerds this holiday season.
This is a fantastic book from Christian Rudder, co-founder of OkCupid. Fans of the OkTrends blog (my favorite data blog of all time) will love this. Tons of hilarious and poignant insights based on data from online dating profiles.
Get custom necklaces, earrings, or rings based on Foursquare or Facebook check-ins, or by manually entering addresses. Pretty striking and cool results.
Give your data lover a little piece of data history. This is a great collection of antique graphs and maps I found on Etsy. There's plenty of other sellers of these kinds of prints, too, if you just search for "antique graphs".
Help you data geek learn a little more about themselves. Get them a genetic testing kit and they'll learn all kinds of data about their ancestry!
Choose a location and a style of map and print shirts or skirts of your favorite places. A nice geographical alternative to making your own data skirts.
Wrap your awesome data themed presents in data viz wrapping paper! All these designs were made in Tableau using data about holiday spending and shopping.
For #TableauDesignMonth I wrote up a little blog post called "5 Easy Ways to Pimp Your Viz" which included a handy little dashboard I whipped up about dog breeds:
The data is from Petfinder.com which I scraped with Import.io and turned all the little dot symbols into numbers by doing a crapton of find-and-replace magic in Excel.
Of course, not everyone is a dog person (in fact, we know where the cat fanciers live!):
@DataRemixed @jeweloree best dog for me is a cat
— Peter Gilks (@pgilks) November 25, 2014
So, here's a cat dashboard too! The data is also from Petfinder.
I've noticed that there's a lot of us out there in the dataviz world that are also musicians. I'm a sax and bass player. I know many of you out there are also into playing music. I've always wondered what it was that draws musical people to dataviz (or vice versa).
My theory is that both dataviz and music engage both the analytical, mathematical side and artistic creative sides of your brain. I was recently sent this TED-Ed video that alludes to the same idea. Check it out. It's a party in our brains!
Tomorrow is the first month of November so that means people everywhere will put down their razors for the month and see what happens in support of men's health. It's Movember! If you haven't heard, Matt Francis is organizing a Tableau Team. Unfortunately (or probably fortunately, really…) I can't grow a mustache. Luckily, Tableau can grow one for me!
A few other Tableau celebrities got the mustache treatment, as well. Check it out in my viz!
Thanks to the lovely folks at import.io for showing a super fun time last Thursday at our Halloween special webinar! If you logged on, you probably caught some of our "fancy dress" but in case you weren't, this happened:
If you didn't make it, never fear! It was recorded and you can watch the whole thing here:
I wanted to go a little more into detail about how to build this dashboard, so I'll break it down piece by piece so that you can recreate it!
Building the first bar chart is pretty easy. To start, put [Costume Category] on rows. Since there are duplicate rows (due to having one row for every word in a title), instead of using [Number of Records] we are going to do a CountDistinct([Prod ID]). You can do this by right-click dragging [Prod ID] to the columns shelf and then selecting Count Distinct, or by clicking the drop down menu on the Prod ID pill and then going to Measure>Count(Distinct). This means Tableau is now only counting each costume once.
Making the price histogram was also very simple. All you have to do is select [Price] in the Measures pane and then hit the histogram button in Show Me.
If the bins that your histogram selects are too big or small you can edit them by finding [Price(Bin)] in the Dimensions pane, clicking the drop down and clicking "Edit". This will allow you to change your bins to whatever size you'd like.
Lastly, instead of doing a count on price, which will make for duplicate rows because of the join with the words, switch out [CNT(Price)] on the Rows shelf with [CNTD(Prod Id)].
To create the word cloud, drag the [Words] on to text and [Number of Records] on size. At first, you'll get a treemap. This is a good point to filter out some of the words to keep them mucking out the word cloud. I filtered out words like costume, adult, the, of, etc. You can just over over a square and click "Exclude". Once you do that, you can switch the marks card from "Automatic" to "Text" to get a word cloud.
Another thing I wanted to do was filter to only the top 30 words; that way nothing is too small. Since we already filtered on [Words] when we excluded "adult" and "costume" and the like, we can create a duplicate field for words and filter on that. If you click the drop down menu on [Words] you will find the Duplicate option. Click on this and drag it to the Filters shelf. Once you are there, click the tab that says "Top" and choose "By field:" and set it to the Top 30 by [Number of Records].
The table is pretty simple. Drag [Item] to rows and [Price] to label. Easy peasy. I also put [Prod Id] on Detail in the Marks card (you'll see why later) and [Description] in the tooltip.
This is a trick I use all the time as it's a great way to add context to your dashboard without taking up too much space. It's been well documented before so I won't go into too much detail. The only real thing I did differently was change the shape to a custom shape that looks like a little ghost. Read more about utilizing custom shapes here.
To create this, I first went through all the words and created groups so that words like "Babe" and "Flirty" fell into the "Sexy" group and all other words counted as "Everything else"
With the groups created and renamed to [Sexy Words] I created the "Sexy" button by dragging out [Sexy Words] to the text on the marks card and then editing the label by clicking on the Text button and editing it to say "Click here to bring
Tableau Public is great for rapidly creating a lot of different charts types like we did above, but the real power comes in making these charts interact with each other. This is done through "Dashboard Actions." Now that all of our sheets are created, we can create a new dashboard and drag everything onto it. Then we can create a series of dashboard actions by going to Dashboard>Actions in the menu. Here's all the actions I created:
I wanted the theme to be really obvious, so I did a bit of design work to make everything match the Halloween theme. First, I set the background color to all of my sheets and the dashboard to black and set the other colors to fit a theme. I based everything off of this color scheme:
I even created custom color palettes in Tableau so that I could use those colors as a gradient in the data.
Another thing I did was create a set of custom titles out of a custom font I found on DaFont called "Scary Halloween"
I also added a little tombstone image to the dashboard for the costume picture to load on top of.
So, that's basically it! Our finished product looks pretty neat:
So, that's it! I hope you enjoyed the webinar and the dashboard!
For those who don't know, I'm on a bit of an extended trip working out of our London office right now. It's been rad and one of the things I'm really excited about doing while I'm here is hanging out with my pals at Import.io. We are putting on a special Halloween edition webinar next Thursday, October 16th (my birthday!), to show how to scrape Buycostumes.com and build this viz in Tableau:
You can use the viz above to find the perfect animal-ears-plus-lingerie combo, a la Mean Girls.
Hope to see you next Thursday!

If a report by Boy Genius Report is correct, Amazon might be the first large entity to actually try to use a sponsored data access feature, a key selling point of its smartphone. Amazon has experience with that sort of thing, bundling data with content consumption.
But other widespread applications use the same model. Telcos and cable companies sell voice service where the cost of using the network is embedded in the retail price of the product. Video entertainment is sold using the same principle.
If correct, Amazon would build on its experience with the Kindle content delivery approach, essentially buying wholesale data access from AT&T to use in support of its content sales business.
AT&T has been attempting to create a bigger market for sponsored data of this sort that would resemble the way enterprises pay for their customers' use of long distance calling using toll-free numbers.
"Prime Data" would allow users of Amazon's new smartphone to consume content without having the charges count against usage caps.
That would remove a barrier to consumer use of the new Amazon smartphone as a platform for bandwidth-intensive video entertainment.
In principle, that would provide benefits to the consumer that are similar to managed services such as voice and linear video entertainment (cable TV, satellite TV, telco TV). Consumers buy the service, and use of network facilities is just part of the cost of doing so.
Though there is no direct connection between the concept of sponsored data and the use of content delivery networks and network neutrality, there are parallels. All three have direct implications for the flow of revenue within an Internet-based application ecosystem.
Consumers will be hesitant to use Internet streaming video services if the cost of data is too onerous. So one impediment to the widespread viability of mobile video services is the potential cost of data usage. Sponsored data is among the techniques a mobile video service provider could employ to reduce barriers to usage.
Content delivery networks, on the other hand, likewise are ways any managed service provider using the Internet can assure the quality of services being sold. Few voice or video service providers want to deal with the consumer irritation when a service they have paid for does not work well.
Network neutrality rules have prevented use of such content delivery networks in the recent past, even if major application and content providers use just such techniques in the Internet backbone to enhance application performance.
Sponsored data, and Prime Data, would represent important new ways app providers can reduce barriers to adoption of mobile video, and thus create one more underpinning for widespread mobile video services that better compete with linear video subscription services.
But CDNs, extended all the way to the end user device, play a role as well.

Conservation Minister Nick Smith has announced a $75,000 grant to help restore the Arrowtown jail.
The Georgian-style category 1 listed "gaol" was built in 1875 at a cost of £500 and is the fourth-oldest jail in New Zealand.
However, Cardigan St building has fallen into disrepair and needs earthquake strengthening, damp repairs and plastering.
Grant funds will be used by the Wakatipu Heritage Trust to shore up the jail and preserve the town's goldmining era heritage.
Lake District Museum director David Clarke said the Government, at one stage, planned to demolish the building but the community rallied to keep the only goldfields jail in the country. The overall cost estimate to repair the jail was $180,000, he said.
"It needs re-plastering and re-strengthening. You will find it's worth it, we have hundreds of children coming through here [for education]."
Smith said the jail needed work urgently otherwise there was a risk of the building being irreparable and lost. "It's just so important protecting the natural heritage and the rich historical heritage.
"Arrowtown is a tourism icon for Queenstown and New Zealand. We need to maintain unique historic buildings like the gaol if we are to retain what makes Arrowtown such an interesting place. The Wakatipu Heritage Trust has the ambition to not just restore the jail but to bring it to life with innovative technology."
The grant from the Government is part of its community conservation partnership announced in March, a $26 million commitment over four years for natural heritage and recreation projects.

Knight-Sampson feud could reach new heights
The hiring of Bob Knight enemy Kelvin Sampson will be seen by some as a slap in the face of the over IU coach, Doug Gottlieb writes.
Originally Published: March 30, 2006
By Doug Gottlieb | Special to ESPN.com
The hiring of Kelvin Sampson puts Indiana firmly at the polar opposite of the RBK (Robert Montgomery Knight) school of thinking.
Steve Alford and Randy Wittman are IU guys; Sampson is not. Knight has run his programs free of NCAA violations; Sampson, recently, has not. RBK has had an incredibly high graduation rate; Sampson has not. Knight's faction does not believe in using a zone defense; Sampson does
in doses. Knight hunts; Sampson plays golf. Knight usually has a dictator's relationship with his players; Sampson's way is to hug, hold hands and cry together.

There have been multiple sewage issues at O.co Coliseum this season and they have reared their ugly head again today with rain in the Oakland area.
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle has the updates from the Athletics clubhouse:
Meanwhile, Twins closer Glen Perkins has provided this shot of standing water in the visitor's dugout. Note that even the Dodgers don't want to swim in this.
Slusser notes that the A's say there's no sewage component to the standing water in the dugout, though it's pretty sad that something like that needs to be clarified. Still, it would be pretty embarrassing for MLB if something like this happened during the postseason. Good thing they have been dragging their feet on this stadium situation for years.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
U of W recognized for measuring carbon footprint
The University of Winnipeg is now officially recognized by the international Climate Registry for measuring its campus carbon footprint.
U of W said that it has had its carbon footprint third-party verified, and has reported the data on the registry's website. This builds on the effort that began in 2006 when the university started reporting greenhouse gas emissions publicly through its annual Sustainability Performance Reports.
"We know that transparent and accurate reporting of greenhouse gas emissions plays a big role in achieving real emission reductions," said U of W's director of sustainability, Alana Lajoie-O'Malley. "The practice was critical in enabling us to achieve our first major reductions in GHG emissions last year, and we will continue to rely on strong reporting as we strive to achieve a 10 per cent reduction below 1990 levels by the end of 2016."
Measuring their carbon footprint with The Climate Registry helps organizations identify inefficiencies and potential for cost savings, and provide meaningful data about their environmental performance to stakeholders, U of W officials said.
The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization that operates the only carbon footprint registry in North America supported by states, provinces, territories and aboriginal bands. The Climate Registry helps hundreds of public and private organizations measure, report and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions with integrity.
