I made a diagram about my crocheting in the last 3 Month.
You can see:
1. how long I crocheted on each day and how long each item was crocheted
2. how long each item was on etsy and on what day it was sold
3. in which city the item was shipped

This is my design for a calendar card - double sided with blanks for the days of the week.
In response to this challenge:
http://www.elzr.com/articles/2007/01/21/infodesign-challenge
My latest submission to the InfoDesign Calendar Challenge at my blog.
It works like this:
1. Locate the day-number.
2. Move upwards in its column until you find the month-row.
3. Read the day-name in the intersection (month-names always fall on a Monday).
This is an evolution of my first submission and it comes in two flavors: mini (shown above) and maxi--here's a comparison pic between them. Actually, maxi is a far better candidate for the challenge (I always present forty-plus-olds with mini first, and while they do like it, they're overjoyed when I show them maxi) but I just couldn't resist putting mini up there--I find it amazing that you can fit a full calendar into such an small space and still keep type at a decent size:
mini: 4.2cm x 6.1cm. Type 11 for numbers and monthnames, 10 for daynames
maxi: 5.2cm x 7.5cm. Type 15 for numbers, 14 for monthnames, 13 for daynames.
Size comparison with a credit card.
Mini compared with a normal calendar.
Maxi compared with a normal calendar.
The young and the good-sighted overwhelmingly prefer mini.
As for the design, I abandoned, reluctantly at first, the "wordless automaton" dream. Actually, I abandoned every design feature that I could and left only type and 3 colors. The result was surprising and refreshing, and in many ways much easier to understand. The way color links month end dates, one of my favorite features of the previous design is now even simpler--now there's only red for months with less than 31 days. Rows are now indicated by type color and that brought a huge improvement in contrast, which was more harmful to legibility than font-size in the original design.
Two other interesting things followed from the type-color rows. First, it forced me to use 3letter daynames, which is quite an unprecedented feat for calendars of any size that does help somewhat (particularly in a calendar like this, were daynames change position). Second, it allowed number columns to continue, greatly improving scanning, which allowed me in turn to drop the ~6 month split--at first a seemingly neat idea that eventually turned out to be somewhat distracting, an exception, one more thought step.
The one exception I haven't been able to depart from are the embedded monthnames. Placing them on Mondays (instead of Wednesdays), and thus marking the start of the week, was an improvement but I can't think of further ones (and I do think they blend a little bit too much with daynames). The obvious improvement, placing them all on an extra leftmost column turns out not to be that helpful. It doesn't look nearly as good for one thing, but it also seems to be strangely less usable--it's much easier to lose your place. You have to use them to notice the difference but here's a very lousy diagram of my current theory: basically, with embedded monthnames the eye can sweep upwards and almost unconsciously through the calendar, find the monthname, and usually have the dayname closeby; with leftmost monthnames the eye has to do a lot of tracing and retracing to be sure it's at the right place.
Btw, notice the middle column is slightly darker to ease scanning. Anything that can be done to improve column visibility and memorability helps a lot.
The biggest advantages of this design are legibility, size, and speed (it consistently beats normal calendars, any size, at dayname games). The biggest disadvantages are a(n albeit minimal) learning curve and (this one kills me) the inability to be able to mark holidays.
Here are the Excel 2007 source files --mini and maxi-- for you to play with the design. You'll need the wonderfully narrow Andale FB and Matthew Carter's Bell Centennial --a font designed specifically for AT&T's telephone directory and thought with concision and legibility foremost in mind.
And here are PDFs of mini, maxi, and left-column-mini in case you want to print the designs and test them.
So what do you think?
I've been slowly evolving this graph for 6 years.
I just made it out of a Dip (see Seth Godin's The Dip); I'm now actually designing again. Feels good.

I was 10 - 18 May 2014 in Barcelona and crocheted in:
- in airplane (green)
- in bus (dark blue)
- in cafes (red)
- in my airbnb apartment (rose-pink gradient)
All together: 8 h 45 min crocheting
I went 80 km on foot in there 9 days,
it is also marked in the graphic.
This is some further play with Adam Sporka's wonderful remix of Luis Pabon's uncanny double-numbered calendar, all part of the Infodesign Callendar Challenge at my blog.
I loved how reducing the calendar size had the fascinating side effect of allowing one to use thumbs as month's separators, greatly improving the usability of the design. But I still thought that reading the calendar was not as easy as it could be and this is what came out. The month labels are placed so that thumbing won't hide them and several tweaks like column shading have been added to ease scanning.
Here is the CDR source file if someone wants to keep playing with it.
Oh, and yes, I only did half a calendar. I'm lazy.

Qualitative research was done (in-depth interviews and telephone interviews) around how the recession has affected female consumer buying habits within a two square kilometer radius of a specific area in Johannesburg, South Africa. This research was done for a final Honours Paper. I chose Information Design to represent my findings.

Final for InfoDesign, organizing my morning routine. The assignment was to break the rules, so I did.
This was the direct outcome of the multicolored table after erasing weekends (they're are, after all, perfectly determined) and coloring the months with a rainbow scheme taken directly from Luis Pabon's fantastic calendar proposal. It looked remarkably like tetris, and that resemblance made me realize just how awkward the calendar looked horizontal--all the more awkward considering it made numbers run vertically when everyone expects them to run horizontally.
Verticalizing the design led me to my next version.

About a month this thing kept a gun against my head, I spent hours in trams and metro doing abt 10 pages of drafts and arithmetics, next time I'm using Excel or Processing. And it is barely readable I know. Actually it's the least readable thing that ever came out of my tablet pen, but. BUT. I love it. This noise, almost pixel-like, like a mac tuned to a dead channel, like a DNA-visualization noise. Pure brain sex.

SML Pro Blog: SoundCloud = Innovative Social Network for Musicians
SoundCloud is a social network startup for musicians based in Berlin. Originally from Stockholm, the founders created the site after they have grown "tired of getting emails with YouSentIt links or FTP log-ins just to be able to check out our friends latest soon-to-be released tracks."
Just a couple of years ago, when you mention music and social networks, the first site that came to mind is MySpace. Yes, MySpace is a social network and they do put much weight on music and musicians, but MySpace fails to innovate beyond implementing comments + music player, and that is barely social. In this blog post I will go through the many innovations SoundCloud brought to the music scene and explain why I like it so much.

Same as the last calendar, but, well, better. Or at least, more interesting, design wise.
You could also say, it's the difference between designing on a Mac, versus a PC.
Based on, and color scheme stolen from, the curiously excellent Pabon-Sporka redesign.
This tree was crocheted in three days while going from Hamburg to Berlin by car,
while being in Berlin, and on the way back to Hamburg.

This could be the RAID Thunderbolt solution I have been looking for. Introduced during the CES 2013 earlier this year, the LaCie 5big comes with five hot swappable 7200rpm/64MB cache hard disks which are preconfigured as a RAID 0 array, but can optionally be configured as RAID 1 or JBOD configuration (aka RAID 5).
It has dual 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt ports for easy daisy chaining with up to 6 additional drives. The aluminium enclosure features a Noctua® magnetic levitation cooling fan, promising high-performance yet quiet operations with zero-vibration. Acoustics is rated at 25-28dBA.
Average transfer rate at 785MB/s read and 695MB/s write means that it can handle multiple 2K uncompressed 10-bit streams, a dream come true for the media production workflow.
Two models are available. The MSRP for the 10TB is US$1,199 and the 20TB goes for US$2,199. Reasonably affordable especially she compared to the Pegasus.
I am waiting for reviews to come in right now before making the purchase to make sure the build is good, but it is definitely now on my to-buy list if they perform as well as the specs say.
