I wanted to build a project using a government dataset to learn d3.js. I decided to use the Chicago lobbyist data after looking at the information available at ChicagoLobbyists.org.
Now, to help you understand how to create your first visualization, I’ll share how I created this project.
I was inspired to compose a few thematic pieces and these three sonatas are the result of improvising one evening.
Arrangement of “At the End of Time”, “The Cathedral”, and “A Prayer for the Wayfarer” from the video game Chrono Trigger.
For the last speech of the Competent Communicator manual, I wanted to reflect on my time at Toastmasters of Lincoln Park. I was really surprised how quickly my time was up. I did not spend a lot of time rehearsing this speech, but I was confident in my abilities and pleased with the results. I have learned a lot about myself and being a better communicator from deliberately practicing and being inspired by the other speakers at the club. I look forward to giving more speeches from the advanced manuals. I will be working on “Interpersonal Communication” and “Interpretive Reading”.
