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.

I love this design for its arresting weirdness but I'd be the first to admit it's terribly impractical, confusing, and bulky (compared to the final version).

 

It works through diagonals. Say you want to find out what day February 2 falls on. First, find the number. Then, move through its diagonal (the 2nd diagonal left-to-right in this case, the white one) until you cross February's row (FEB). At the cell where they cross (the one with a 16 in this case), go up to find the dayname--"MIE", which means February 2, 2007 falls on a Wednesday (MIErcoles).

 

It is not that complicated--slide through the diagonal until you cross the month row, up from there--but there's a lot of contradictory information along the way.

I have made this information graphic to show the transitions between baked dishes.

 

I am very fascinated by these connection and transitions; that for example a crumble is a tart without pastry :)

See the simple version here.

 

Print at 300 dpi, fold on the vertical lines, and tape the ends. For any particular month, just fold it flat so the month is on the left. The color of the month matches the last day of that month (April, June in white, and September, November in grey have 30 days, February in grey has 29 days--leap year!, and all the other months have 31 days).

 

To see the finished product, here's the front, and back.

 

The colors are for the seasons:

Green - Spring

Yellow - Summer

Orange - Autumn

Blue - Winter

This started with a simple verticalization of the previous design but it quickly evolved in very interesting ways. A crucial change was moving the numbers to the middle, which arose when I realized eyes aren't half as good (or half as trained) moving vertically as they are moving horizontally.

 

The relocation made for a much more balanced design, and that, together with the rainbow color scheme, and the natural gracefulness of squares made this one of the most aesthetically pleasing designs.

 

Also, I used Luis Pabon's idea of colored lines to mark a month's ending--a marked improvement from little red triangles.

 

In minimalist overreach, I took away the months. They felt so extraneous to the clear-cut design that was emerging that perhaps the 12 colors I was using (and the fact that months were evenly split up and down) would prove enough to obviate them.

 

User testing proved they weren't, at all, and the next design evolved in an effort to try to fit them back into the design.

A rainbow seems like an awful overabundance of color, particularly after my experience with it, but I like the coincidence of seven diagonals for the seven colors of the rainbow, and not only are strong colors a big aid for the eye in tracing unfamiliar diagonal paths but a separate color also helps to avoid meaningless clustering.

I really like this version. For one thing, orange and gray are a great combination, but more importantly it has an other-worldly weirdness that I very much appreciate it. I guess the strangeness comes from being a novel (I think) way to extend everyday two-dimensional tables with one extra dimension. It's not a perfect extension--confusing and difficult to follow--but it's intriguing. (Check this version to see how it works.)

 

Unfortunately, it takes way too much space. Which was why I tried, with mixed success, to move the numbers inside the diagonals.

Preparing stuff for final show exh., have added to the artwork some fancy typography, although rather of French Revolution era than Renaissance. Plus the direction of lines which bothered me since the very first one draft.

At one point during my week-long obsession I managed to "reword" the problem of representing a year into that of representing this 7x7 table (Fig. 4) in the most intuitive format I could think of. Diagonal designs followed: here, here, here, and here.

 

I got the table from trying to see what exactly was happening with the week with every month-change. For me, with my mathish background, it came down to this: Every month, the month's modulo base 7 (the integer remainder of dividing the month's days by 7) shifted the week's starting day. January, for instance, has a modulo of 3 (31/7=4, with a remainder of 3), and thus, the next month after it, February, begins 3 days after, on a Thursday (January begins with a Monday). Since February has a modulo of 0 (28 has no remainder when divided by 7), March starts the same day. And so on.

 

So if you figure out each month's modulo, then its incremental modulo (last month's modulo added to last month's incremental modulo), and finally the incremental modulo's modulo (Fig. 1) you can see just what is happening during the year (Fig. 2), just what operation you're trying to make visible with your design. If you now reorder months to minimize repetition (Fig. 3) you get that 7x7 table (Fig. 4).

 

So you see, a calendar, every calendar, is just an instrument for solving graphically the operations described in Fig. 1. The more our prodigious visual capacities are exploited, the less we think of it as an operation at all, the better the calendar.

I tried bringing the newfound diagonality to a previous version but it was a marked mixed success. While yes, five rows were done away with, month ordering was lost, rows cluttered, and the nice relation within row color and month-end was lost (to be replaced by a contrived label-color hack).

Seems very Native American, no?

 

It's the most compact, yet perhaps the most unusable of all the designs. Not only does one loses month ordering, but the color diagonals seem to "coil" around the square in an unintuitive, difficult-to-follow way. The next designs mostly tried to "unfold" it.

 

Example: What day does August 7 fall on? First, find 7. Now follow its violet diagonal until it crosses with the AUG row and from that cell go up to find the dayname: Tuesday in this case.

As of today.

Made by this guy.

I think it works quite well.

A bit too web 2.0 with the bright colors, round corners and shadows? Nah, I like it.

 

Note: This new map is not directly comparable with the old version, as there is a wide version of this one as well. I'll try to find it...

Do note that the normal calendar "cheats" by only showing 6 months per side.

One of the earliest sketches. It grew directly out of Joe Lanman's redesign of Jan-Willem Doornenbal's proposal.

 

You can already see some key ideas like highlighting Wednesdays (with a dot), lowlighting weekends, and indicating month-ends (in this case with a terribly inelegant red triangle).

 

When I showed this mockup to my mother she complained the difference between weekdays and weekends was too subtle. An epiphany followed: why not erase them completely? A tetris outcome followed.
