A simple JavaScript interpretation of the title of this book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/10-print-chr2055rnd1-goto-10-0 (Not as elegant as the original, I know.)
var numTimes = 100;
var r = "";
var c = function() {
var rand = Math.random(0, 1);
if (rand < 0.5) {
return "/";
} else {
return "\\";

Ideas for where to post and publicize open data journalism positions

Where to Post your Data Journalism Jobs

Update: This has moved. An updated and maintained version is here: http://alignedleft.com/resources/data-vis-jobs

I posed this question on Twitter:

If you wanted to hire a “data journalist” to support an existing reporting team with data parsing + vis, how would you find that person?

I've documented the responses here. Basically, there seems to be only one job site specifically for data journalists (so far!), and several others, depending on which audience you want to reach (e.g., more focused on development, data vis, or journalism).

The United States of Bouncy Balls

Takes mbostock’s shape tweening example as a starting point, then devolves into ridiculousness. Try mousing over paths, and also clicking! Never use this for a real mapping project, except perhaps as inspiration for creating a legitimate outlines-to-Dorling transition.

Fade to Front

Click each shape above to move it to the front.

SVG doesn’t include a concept of z-index, layering, or depth, except that elements that exist later in an SVG document are drawn “on top”. But when designing interactive pieces, we often want shapes that the user has selected / clicked / interacted with to be moved “on top,” to prevent occlusion and ensure visibility.

It’s easy to take an element and simply move it to the bottom of its parent container:

var moveToFront = function() { 
	this.parentNode.appendChild(this); 
}
