Thank you and congratulations to the organizers from DynamicZones for a diverse, informative, and fun conference at MediaElements. The hospitality of Frank Beverdam and fellow organizers knew no bounds. Other conference organizers/sponsers included alientrick.com, the kvk, syntens and oost n.v.
The morning of the first day started slowly, but the conference picked up a lot of steam by noon, and continued through the afternoon conferences, trance rave (from what I hear ;-) ), next day's sessions, and the all-speaker panel. I think the national newspaper reported over 2k or 3k attendance.
I will post the examples and notes for my three presentations:
- Information Visualization Beginners'
- Information Visualization Advanced
- Introduction to Flash Communication Server.
However, I'd like to improve the notes for the U.S. Elections Visualization demonstration before posting to this website. Please come back on Wednesday to download all the files and notes.
Hello to Keith, Sas, Craig, Carlo, Billy, Guy, Gregor, Danny, Lisa, and lots of other speakers/organizers/attendees whose names are in my notes somewhere :) I will post pictures of Saturday's "Klootschieten" game from the countryside when I get home.
P.S. BBC rules... I don't own a TV at home, but tonight, I'm watching while catching up on stuff at work. There's an educational show on BBC called "Rough Science" that features a team of scientists who figure out how to solve problems out in remote areas. They've played four or five shows straight, and it's 5:39am!

Posted by: brossiekoppie at November 18, 2004 01:02 PMI also enjoyed your presentation at Media Elements about Data Visualisation. Especially the presentation of U.S. election data was really interesting. I'm looking forward to your examples!

just wondering, am I overlooking something, or are your Media Elements sources not online yet?
Thanks!

Posted by: Jan Willem Tulp at November 29, 2004 03:03 AMOne of the things that really surprised me when I started teaching is that even post-grad students in the class I was taking still had difficulties in writing essays. This was because some were returning to study after long absences while others were coming to journalism from non-humanities backgrounds.
