I've been meaning to tidy up my gems for a while, but didn't realise quite how bad things had got until I ran the new gem graph plugin.

Computational Information Design
The ability to collect and store data continues to increase, but our ability to understand it remains unchanged. Data visualization makes use of our evolutionary proclivity for decoding visual images and employs this ability as a high-bandwidth means of getting data into our heads. In this talk, I'll present work I've developed ranging from illustrations of data for magazines and journals to software tools used by geneticists to interactive applications for Fortune 10 companies.
Keywords: Design, Visualization, InformationDesign, Processing, Java, VisualWeb, JavaScript
Target Audience: Anyone interested in understanding the mess of data around us.

Derek Nathaniel Bell (b: December 11, 1968) is a former MLB player. Primarily a right fielder and center fielder. When he reached C. Leon King High School in Tampa, Bell attracted the attention of the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto selected him in the second round of the 1987 June draft, with the 49th overall pick.
Bell made his Major League debut on June 28, 1991, starting in left field in a 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. He appeared in 61 games for the Blue Jays the next year, serving as the team's fourth outfielder as Toronto won its division and advanced to the World Series, ultimately defeating the Atlanta Braves in six games.
Shortly before the beginning of the 1993 season, the Blue Jays traded Bell and Stoney Briggs to the San Diego Padres, in exchange for veteran outfielder Darrin Jackson. It was in San Diego where Bell first established himself as an everyday player. He was still somewhat unrefined as a player, batting .262 and striking out more than five times as often as he walked in 1994, but he also displayed a good base of pure skills by hitting 21 home runs and stealing 26 bases.
Bell went on to enjoy one of the best seasons of his career in 1995 with the Huston Astros. His .334 batting average was the fourth highest in the league, and he drew some consideration in league MVP voting, finishing in fourteenth place with 12 points. As one of "The Killer B's", Bell would continue as an important part of the ascendant Astros for five seasons, as the team won three straight division championships from 1997-1999. Bell's year-to-year performance varied considerably, but his peak came in 1998. That season, he batted .314 with 41 doubles and 22 home runs, good for an OPS of .855.

Shawn David Green (b: November 10, 1972) is a former MLB player. Green was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays as their 1st round pick (16th overall) in the 1991 amateur draft. He ultimately struck a deal with the Blue Jays.
In 1992, Green played for the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League, and was selected to the league's all-star team.
Green spent most of 1993 and 1994 in the minors, where he compiled impressive numbers. In 1994, he hit .344—winning the International League batting title—while ranking third in runs, hits, and on-base percentage and hitting 13 home runs with 61 RBIs for Toronto's AAA affiliate, the Syracuse Chiefs.
Toronto Blue Jays (1993–99) Green made his Major League debut on September 28, 1993 as the second-youngest player in the Major Leagues. Though he did not play in the 1993 World Series, he was awarded a World Series ring. He would appear in just 17 games in 1993 and 1994.
In 1998, Green was granted an everyday spot in the line-up and he delivered by becoming the first Blue Jay to both hit 30 or more home runs and steal 30 or more bases in the same season. He also became the tenth Major Leaguer to hit 35 or more home runs and steal 35 or more bases in a season, joining among others Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez.
He finished the 1999 season batting .309 (a career best), with 42 home runs (5th in the league), 134 runs (2nd in the league, and a career best), 123 RBIs, and a .588 slugging percentage (5th best in the league).
On November 8, 1999, Green was traded with Jorge Nuñez to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Pedro Borbón, Jr. and Raúl Mondesí.
On May 23, 2002 the turning point of his season, he had one of the best single game performances ever. He hit a Major League record-tying 4 home runs and a record-tying five extra-base hits (he hit a double in addition to the home runs) against the Milwaukee Brewers, and had 19 total bases, breaking Joe Adcock's 1954 Major League record by one, while matching the major league record of 6 runs scored in one game. No other major league player had 6 hits, 5 runs, and as many as 4 extra-base hits in a game again until Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers in 2009. He hit a 5th home run during the following game to tie the Major League 2-game home run record (5), and then hit 2 more the game after to break the Major League 3-game record (7). Green also broke the NL record with 9 home runs in that calendar week.
He chose to retire before the start of the 2008 season, as he wanted to be with his family. Green was arguably the best Jewish baseball player since Sandy Koufax, and only Hank Greenberg, with 331 home runs and 1,276 RBI, has more major league home runs and RBIs than Green.

UX Research at Google predicts that one's offline social network contains ~4-6 groups, with 2-10 people. (see: www.slideshare.net/padday/the-real-life-social-network-v2)
I use some graph visualization and clustering against my Facebook graph to see if my experience agrees with Google's research. See my blog post for more details.
Looks about right...7 clear clusters of people emerge, with little traffic between them.
Tiger is full of hidden little apps that could make life easier (as well as getting rid of iPhoto completely, to make life harder).
The graphing program looks pretty hardcore.
