data sketch|es: a year of exotic data visualizations
summary
A year of monthly projects documents exact claims and hard lessons: scraping YouTube with youtube-dl and captions then running face detection via Google Vision API to correlate emotions with speech, building a 5,000‑medal peacock feather from Olympic records, extracting 20,000 colors from photos, hand‑tagging ~800 Lord of the Rings scene rows, learning to write custom SVG paths, refactoring a 16,000px canvas to 3,000px for performance, and iterating until each visualization actually reveals something surprising.
