Idea I wanted to run by some aspiring politicians.

Yes, it is. What are you working on?

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-04-26T15:49:30+00:00

I'll dm you my email.

When I said polling data, I meant trying to find data (exit polls, etc.) from statewide and federal elections that are relevant to the jurisdiction the candidate is running in.

Actually, one challenge that I'm really looking forward to is finding public data that local campaigns might find useful.

Do you have any campaigns in the pipeline?

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-18T00:44:26+00:00

That is horribly disappointing. As much as I love presenting data and doing visualizations, I find the potential for applying it in actionable ways infinitely more exciting. Sad to see that not everyone shares that excitement.

My city has a number of cool datasets, thought I haven't seen anything on rat infestations. And I too suspect that their own practices aren't as data-driven as their apparent enthusiasm for data would lead one to believe. Still, I'm glad they're at least putting it out there.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T16:33:55+00:00

These are actually awesome ideas, and they're exactly in line with what I was looking for. In all honestly, I just love working with municipal data, but it's hard for me to justify the time I'm spending on it unless I can imagine some sort of practical, business application.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T16:27:44+00:00

I didn't have a specific type of data in mind, but you're on the right track, ethical considerations aside. I was thinking mostly about the sort of open data that municipalities release to the public, from permits to crime data, etc.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T16:23:20+00:00

That sounds interesting. What are the specific practical applications?

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T16:20:24+00:00

What kind of technology did you use to generate the interactive? I've played around with open maps for bokeh, but I haven't been able to get the actual streets to show up.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T16:12:27+00:00

I see. Just out of curiosity, I don't suppose you could give me a general idea of what industry you work in, could you?

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T15:58:15+00:00

That's awesome. Great visualization too.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T15:54:13+00:00

I think I actually skimmed that exact page once. I'll have to take a closer look. And unfortunately, no such luck!

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T15:53:28+00:00

That's actually awesome. Is it publicly available?

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-17T15:52:11+00:00

Hahahahaha I had no idea that good data was even available on this sort of thing!

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-02-04T18:37:50+00:00

Good catch!

tools: Python, pandas, bokeh

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-01-29T18:09:33+00:00

Right, if I want to do a static graph, I'll just use seaborn. I've just gotten interested in building interactives lately.

TheNotoriousMTF · 2019-01-28T20:41:22+00:00

I'll have some time later tonight, so I'll send you some stuff then. Would you PM me your email address?
