CatMap: because lolcats need projection too

This is a map of the Australian state of Victoria, showing some of the locations for which cat registration data is available publicly. A bigger cat on the map means there are more real cats in that postcode; pan and zoom to explore.

You might say it's a map of cats, or a CatMap!

im in ur javascript, referencing decade-old memes

Preparing the map

Take a shapefile of "postal areas" from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Using GDAL, find the postcodes in Victoria (starting with 3), and convert to GeoJSON. Then, run through TopoJSON for fancy lossless compression, and run our own postcode-centroids.js to generate display positions.

Word clouds on a Leaflet map

First presented at the SydJS January 2014 meetup.

SydJS has had Atlassian as venue sponsor for a long time, and in that time Atlassian moved offices across town. So I took words from the titles of presentations at each location and made two word clouds. Then, I added them to a Leaflet map, overlaid on each office location!

Details and some code snippets are in my talk slides.

Based heavily on Jason Davies' d3-cloud and Mike Bostock's Leaflet integration example.

The full talk, including this example, are from the repository azza-bazoo/js-devs-dont-get-lost.
