This plot might be suitable for showing cyclical trends, though I'm not sure it’s a great idea as the radial display has a number of limitations:

• The underlying data goes from Sunday to Saturday, but the chart shows continuity from Saturday through to the previous Sunday. Time does not flow backwards, so you might instead prefer to plot two values for Sunday; this would show a discontinuity on opposite sides of the Sunday axis.

• Displaying the discontinuity requires an open interpolator, rather than cardinal-closed as used here. However, this causes the tangents of the incoming and outgoing lines to no longer be orthogonal to the axis. To display the discontinuity properly, you’d need to write a custom interpolator to generate the correct tangents.

• Due to the interpolation taking place in Cartesian (rather than polar) coordinates, the intermediate values of the lines do not have the correct radial values: if you tried to measure t

For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.

12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot
