If you do a search and get 48K results, you should *not* actually consider copy and pasting from each page--@derekwillis #nicar15
.@derekwillis: "Allure of finishing something is so powerful" it gets in the way of putting effort into automating tasks. Yep. #NICAR15
Instead of spending 5-6 hours copy and pasting those 48K items, spend that time writing automation-@derekwillis #nicar15
.@kleinmatic relates Horace Greeley's work on the Congressional milage expenses scandal of 1848; first data driven investigation? #NICAR15

.@derekwillis: “Treat data as objects.” Not just a number or string, but a representation of a thing in time with a definition. #NICAR15
Been wrestling w/ "doing it to get it done" vs. "doing it right". When @tthibo and @derekwillis giving same advice, time to listen. #nicar15

One haphazard bar chart doth not a data story make - great sources, lessons from @johnwschoen and @anfuller at #NICAR2015
"How tall are you, like 4'll", five foot?" --> worst pick up line (even if it is scary spot on). #NICAR15
Example: guy finds an unsecured mystery switch online belonging to the Norwegian railroad. It would've shut off the fire alarm #NICAR15
my takeaway from @egabler @txtianmiller @alanjudd3000 - diff btw anecdote & narrative. are people in your story fully developed? #NICAR15
Learning mapping using @Mapbox at #NICAR15 with @ashlynstill. Looks like a breeze. With great functionality.

Oh man the @BWFN is having an event at the same hotel as #NICAR15 and it looks totally amazing.
So true MT @CEssig: Reporters should bring developers in EARLY and have ideas on what to do with the data - @maurenlinke #NICAR15

VR input devices: head, locomotion, hand movements — it just makes sense. More ways to interact with your environment. #NICARVR #NICAR15

The end of maps in 7 charts #nicar15
Now happening at #NICAR15 ... It's the Lightning talks ... Packed house
I'm unreasonably excited for these #NICAR15 lightning talks. @darlacameron starts us off.
@MizzouAlumni are representing extremely well at #NICAR15 lightning talks!
yaaaass @darlacameron: national maps tend to show population, not whatever they think they're showing #NICAR15
Maps don't always show what they intend: eg, US maps often just show pop, not matter the topic #nicar15
#NICAR15 @darlacameron "just ‘cause you have geographic data doesn’t mean you need a map."
"At the national level, detailed maps tend to show population density." Echoing what @veltman calls "accidental population maps." #NICAR15
Does anyone else feel like they are attending a poetry reading right now? #NICAR15 #lightningtalks
Seven simple solutions for maps that don't tell stories: @darlacameron #NICAR15
"There’s nearly 5 million census blocks in the U.S. with zero population." - @darlacameron #nicar15
Arkansas in a lightning talk #NICAR15 BOOM
Problem 1: lack of context. Small maps for reference + tree maps are better. #NICAR15
XKCD has a great comic on maps at the national level. http://t.co/m3xKmdLOnv #NICAR15 http://t.co/l6afsEFGVK
Words to live by "Is your map just a population map?" #NICAR15
"Small multiples are my personal solution to every problem." @darlacameron #NICAR15
Spell check: Arduino (clearly this is my first rodeo with hardware ;) #NICAR15
#NICAR15 lightning talks way to fast and intense for tweeting. You should just make sure you come next year.

Shoutout to @latimes homicide report in @darlacameron's end of maps lightning talk on different ways to present geographic data #NICAR15
Use maps as navigation, then put a face on it. Use tables or lists. There are so many other things you can do other than a map. #NICAR15
RT @bikeprof: About to start at #NICAR15: lightning talks, also known as Crack for Data Journalists.
OK not really end of maps: But dont assume bc geographic data it has to be displayed in a map #nicar15
"Don't assume just because it's geographic data, it needs to be visualized as a map." @darlacameron #NICAR15
Greatest #nicar15 fear: that someone will use one of my visualizations as an example of a fail.
"Don't assume that just because it's geographic data you have to start with a map." @darlacameron #NICAR15 #txstNICAR
The secret to the NYT election big board is the races in the central "tossup" column tell you which party did well that night #nicar15

"Just because it's geographic data doesn't mean it has to be on a map" #NICAR15
.@thejefflarson On beautiful satellite images #nicar15
Sheeeeeiiiiiiit. @darlacameron criticised a @nytgraphics map
But then showed how another @nytgraphics viz solved the problem :-) #NICAR15
Lists, tables and pictograms after work better than maps for geographic data, says @darlacameron #NICAR15
@mohsin Just because it's geographic data doesn't mean it has to be mapped. #NICAR15 http://t.co/N633JpAP9s
I probably return to that “when maps shouldn’t be maps” blog post at least twice a year. #NICAR15
On maps and data representation: when in doubt, use small multiples! @darlacameron #NICAR15
Awesome @darlacameron presentation on end of maps. But no one help her when she can't find her way home from dinner. #NICAR15
THIS: “Don’t assume that just because it’s geographic information that it has to be on a map.” - @darlacameron #NICAR15
"This is one of those nightmares I had when I was in high school," @thejefflarson takes the stage to talk about #spacejournalism #NICAR15
#lightningtalks lesson: Don't assume geographic data has to be graphed with a map. Talk to data visualization coworkers. #NICAR15

Blindness is more a reflection of the non-blind's inability to imagine an invisible reality, says @suymilk. Deep. #NICAR15
"How do blind people see" ...Especially in a world obsessed with visuals in data? By abstraction/touch/taste/sound. Brilliant talk #NICAR15
.@Paul5cott this is great MT @darlacameron: Here's the link to my #nicar15 lightning talk about the end of maps http://t.co/uE1GAniK7m
.@suymilk's #NICAR15 lightning talk on viz for the blind made me think of this BBC podcast on "audio charts" https://t.co/IdgOcq9TWM
RT @s2tephen: Blindness is more a reflection of the non-blind’s inability to imagine an invisible reality, says @suymilk. Deep. #NICAR15
A great talk by @suymilk on blindness. Reminded me of inspiring 2014 Steel City Ruby talk by @austinseraphin on accessibility. #NICAR15
Last up is @ashlynstill: stop letting the ~cool~ factor detract from your journalism. Does your story really need parallax? #NICAR15
Why is Mr Chartmaker called Mr Chartmaker. Does software have gender? #NICAR15

.@MaryJoWebster's #NICAR15 lightning talk should be required viewing for all new data journalists. Great survey of simple, powerful tools.
Often heard in the newsroom: Can you Snowfall this story for me? - @ashlynstill on the "Snowfall effect" #NICAR15
A few of these #NICAR15 lightning talks are teetering on the edge of burning (not literally!) the very people watching the presentations.
"The Snowfall Effect" is a long needed term for the newsroom. #NICAR15

Just retweeted the first 6 tweets I saw about @suymilk's lightning talks bc yes it was that insightful #NICAR15
Shoutout to @sisiwei (+ @jeremybowers) for putting on a great lightning talks season at #NICAR15. @derekwillis and @pilhofer can rest easy.
Let's think more about whether the ~cool~ features we can use on the web actually enhance the story we're telling @ashlynstill #NICAR15
I wish all this advice given about what not to do (bad data, visuals, etc) had the punchline of “start with your users” #NICAR15 #MissedOpty
RT @s2tephen: “Our job isn’t to make incredible things on the web. Our job is to tell incredible stories on the web.” @ashlynstill #NICAR15
Traded heels for sneeks for a sneak workout break during #nicar15 feels great to #sweat #fit… https://t.co/F7gN1z0aiH
Reporters, data people, developers: talk to each other early and often. That being said, don't say NO to ~cool~ things. #NICAR15
Great job on lightning talks, #NICAR15. You guys are rad.
“Our job isn’t to make incredible things on the web. Our job is to tell incredible stories on the web.” ⚡️ #NICAR15 ⚡️
1st few years' lightning talks were more similar than different. This year's were an amazing range. Shows what real leadership is. #NICAR15
That's a consequence of broadening circle of leaders. Could not be more proud of @sisiwei & what she has done better than I could. #NICAR15
Recurring themes of #nicar15 lightning talks: exercise restraint, find another perspective, keep going.
Lesson: Don't say no to ~cool~ things. @ashlynstill #NICAR15
I feel like the "cool factor" preys on people brand new to the form, but fades very quickly. No? #NICAR15
And that's it for #NICAR15 ⚡️💬. Thanks for tuning in!
"Blindness is more a reflection of the non-blind person's inability to imagine an invisible reality." @suymilk #NICAR15
Uber for Breaking News. What would yours look like? #NICAR15
For #NICAR15 folks, here's your DST algo:
function will_my_clock_change(floor) {
return floor >= 42;
}
So, floors 42-47 have the best views and automatically changing clocks? We plebeians wish we knew that life. #NICAR15
Totally agree: our first job is to tell great stories, not to make great things on the web #NICAR15 #lightningtalks
Big ups for tweeting. Much appreciated. RT @s2tephen: And that's it for #NICAR15 ⚡️💬. Thanks for tuning in!
If you are staying in floors 1-41 make sure to change your clocks tomorrow (they won't automatically) #NICAR15
Clocks on floors 42-47 will change with DST, but not on other floors? #what #NICAR15

Fought off a cold all weekend. Of course it hits me hard the second I get home from #NICAR15.
Nearly kicked off the plane leaving #NICAR15. (But seriously - the @IRE_NICAR family was terrific to this pretender.) http://t.co/4GbbSZBlxH
YES. RT @beatricekatcher: Thank you so much, @ucbsoj and ESPECIALLY @pgrabowicz, for sending the multimedia crew to #NICAR15.
Going through slides of the sessions I couldn't make (to avoid doing homework? Nah)... #NICAR15 never ends.
Picked up @JSEllenberg's book at #NICAR15 after hearing him talk. Am now rethinking every study I've ever read about... #hothandshooting
Three signs that #NICAR15 is over: You had a light dinner. You're not closing the bar. You already have #NICAR16 dates on your smart phone.

So before I become even more confused, a big thank you to @IRE_NICAR and everyone at #NICAR15 for a brilliant few days in Atlanta

#NICAR15 led to 167 tabs open. Bookmaking all and spending the next 3 months going over everything I guess.
It has been real! @IRE_NICAR will never forget the amazing four days at #NICAR15 thanks @maggiemulvihill ! http://t.co/kak9OqnXu3
Meeting @rsimmon and hearing his story was a #nicar15. Smart. Kind. Great storyteller.
Journos, it's Christmas! MT @IRE_NICAR: We'll be adding #NICAR15 blog posts, tipsheets and audio to our website in the coming days/weeks.
So, I was thinking of putting together a tutorial on how to check flooding at tide gauges using the NOAA API. Anyone at #nicar15 interested?

Thanks to the wonderful @IRE_NICAR for a great #NICAR15. Also, many thanks to the Ladies of CAR for the generous raffle prize.
There were so many people at #NICAR15 that I wanted to talk to but never had the chance. A result of many awesome veterans and newbies both!
Yesterday post-#nicar15, I got to hang out with a long-time friend I hadn't seen for years, and visited the Atl. history center. Awesome.
So, I couldn't say my #nicar15 wrapup earlier.
Every year, the #nicar15 experience gets better and better. I solidified ideas I've been playing with, had fascinating convos, learned much.
Back from #NICAR15 to news of #WindsorGone project @ONAwards nomination. Congrats @WinStarDylan @captainbyliner @WinStarTylerB #WorkWindsor
