This is the first project I worked on for Pear Analytics. I set out with not much direction as to what the end result should be. I started by comparing different CMS’s, in a Drupal vs. Joomla/Drupal vs. WordPress way. However, Drupal is not used as much as other CMS’s and specific data was…
It’s been a while.
| October 12, 2011 | Article |
So, it’s been a while since I last posted–like 6 months a while. I apologize for that. I’ve been busy working on some other non-visualization-related projects.

iPod vs Afghanistan
| March 16, 2011 | Posted by Jef McClimans under Data Visualization, infographic, Timeline |
I’ll be honest, I did very minimal research on this. It was more something to keep my hands busy while I watching a few movies.

This visualization is based on hazardous waste sites on The United States Environmental Protection Agencie’s (EPA) superfund priority list. While that’s a touch wordy, it means that this is a list of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites that are on the EPA’s priority list to clean up. 49 of the 50 states have sites on the list.

It was that time of the year a few days ago and try as I might between all the holiday goings ons nothing got posted. After all the traffic was fought, decorations hung(from our nonfunctional fireplace), gifts wrapped, days spent eating way too much food with family and friends and racking my brain to come up…
