Join me for LIVE Interviews Online at 3 EDT!
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Hi!
At 3 EDT today, I’ll be Dave Witzel’s guest on “LIVE Interviews Online,” answering questions from Dave and YOU on how I got involved in the public data and data visualization movement, who’s doing it right, and what the future is (I’ll be easy to spot: I’m wearing the rose-tinted glasses on this issue!).
We already […]
Show Us a Better Way: convinced it’s a turning point in public data
Monday, August 4th, 2008The old PR guy in me rears it’s ugly head!
Once in a blue moon a promotion comes along that really seizes the public’s attention, and, if there’s some substance, can really change the way we live (no, I’m not talkin’ “Real Coke” here).
I’m convinced that’s the case with the UK’s Show Us a Better Way […]
Twitter again proving its salt in Chino earthquake
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008The mainstream media has just reported a strong earthquake in the Chino Hills area of Cal., and already there are many Twiter “tweets” giving eyewitness reports of what happened. Don’t forget my “21st-century disaster tips you won’t hear from officials,” and BE SAFE!
PS. I haven’t written about it yet, but look for Qik, the […]
Challenging Obama supporters to use data viz to help draft platform
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Hi, ya’ll. I’m sweltering in Austin, attending the Netroots Nation (née Yearly Kos) conference. Pass the ribs, please.
In my speech tomorrow I’m going to throw a little gasoline on the fire by challenging the attendees to get up to speed on data feeds and data visualization quickly, so that they can contribute both data […]
You will never hear me under-estimating Bush on national security
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008With yet another report saying that global warming is a severe national security threat, you will NEVER hear me underestimating George W. Bush’s ability in the national security field.
Who else could:
lie us into a war against a fabricated national security threat
actively deny a real, documented on (i.e., global warming)
bankrupt us through 1 so that we […]
Charlie Black: wagging the terrorism dog
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Charlie Black is one of those GOP operatives who has been in the background for years, manipulating government for his clients’ benefit, and whose very presence in the campaign belies McCain’s commitment to root out the influence of lobbyists.
Now that he’s hyping terror attacks as a swell way to elect McCain, it’s clear that the […]
At pdf2008: really interesting visualizations
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Really interesting demo right now of a mapping tool, Linkfluence, that’s being used to map the political blogosphere, and various aspects of this year’s election. Followed by Michael Hurst of Microsoft, who’s also doing some very interesting mapping. Definitely fellow travelers!

Heading to NYC to speak at Personal Democracy Forum 2008!
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Hi. Experimenting by riding Bolt Bus ($15 and free wi-fi plus no one to bother me. What’s not to like?) to NYC, where I’ll be speaking at Personal Democracy Forum 2008 (pdf2008) on data feeds and data visualization as part of a panel on governmental transparency. Looking forward to some great speakers (you can […]
My data feed/data visualization white paper published by nGenera!
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008I’m a proud papa!
nGenera, Don Tapscott’s firm, today published the “Democratizing Data” paper I co-authored for their Gov. 2.0 program.
It covers the two major aspects of a public data program:
publishing data feeds (particularly on a real-time basis)
then using data visualization tools such as those from Many Eyes or Swivel
to use both within government agencies and […]
