Leaving Chris World?

Why not bring back a souvenir?

My Life on Tiles


I decided to feature the activities of the week with tiles. Next time I'll have them
toppled over one another. Every time I make this graphic I think of more ways to represent
the information. And more adjustments I need to make to the blender py script. I still
perform a lot of adjustments by hand. Course, through them I discovery new ways to visualize the information.

For example, after resizing the text I realized I could change the size of the labels to fit how much time I spent on each labeled activity. Then the activities I worked on more would not only stand out in bar form but also be easier to read in text form.

I have yet to create a pie chart out of the data. I think that would make it easier to frame everything in one shot. Right now, it's difficult to get the tops of the bars along with the labels.

As for the things in the image. There was editing for another movie. The 2 code tiles illustrate that tall coding bar, and the large dark one in the back features the important differencing technique I was working on this week. What I choose to display here enables me to highlight the important work of the week at a glance.

It makes for lovely review of ones life.

Notes

I'm 3.3 pounds of neural mass. What do I care?
