Today I stumbled across Tableau Pubic, and decided to pump my (out of date) typewriter collection data into Tableau to see what it could show me about things like the distribution of our collection by manufacturer, year made, owner.
This was about 20 minutes of effort, so don't be too harsh on me. :)
To play with Tableau yourself, you can find it here: http://www.tableausoftware.com/products/public
I'd been fiddling with the idea of making a bar chart of my collection by manufacturer, but this is much more compelling! I have a Mac so I can't download Tableau Public, but I've found some online tools that give the same result. You can expect to see a similar thing by me soon. :)

Nick - I am a Mac guy too - but I'm running it in a virtual machine. :-) supposedly they are releasing a Mac version very soon.
DeleteGood times - thanks for stopping in.
My biggest bubble at present would be "Olivetti" - not by design, just what became available locally. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our Smith-Corona bubble is not planned. I've shifted from Selectrics, to manuals, and now am totally head over heels with the Olympia SM series. Just got our first Lettera 22. Funny how the winds of opportunity blow. Eh? :-)
DeleteThis is fun - thank you! :)
