Comeuppance

Visual games with data from Upcoming,

"Today" is in the center. Time wraps counterclockwise in a spiral, inspired by Nat's games with O'reilly sales data. Each weekday label shows which days are on that spoke, so you can immediately zero in on a weekend. The future is further from the center.

Metro: San Francisco

See below for more information.

Really shows the drawbacks of circular visualizations of this sort, don't be surprised if this takes forever to render and looks terrible. An SFMOMA event stretches from this week through the end of November, which makes understanding the shorter events much more diffcult. It will be interesting to tweak the engine so that events above some given threshold are truncated or omitted entirely. A lot happens in SF on Wednesdays.

• SF Bay Area
  Shows the heavy weekend slant in this metro - Sat/Sun are well-populated, other days are not.
• San Francisco
  Problematic. There is an event in this metro that spans 6 months, so it's a rendering nightmare.
• Los Angeles
  Lots of one-day events, spread out all over the week.
