The kitchen sink.

  1. 🔗New Jekyll Project With No Theme and No Posts, Just Scafolding

    I use Jekyll to make this site. I've toyed with converting the site to a Wordpress site but I much prefer writing in a text editor. I also love that I can write <html> or js wherever I want in a file with syntax highlighting. I also use Jekyll to quickly prototype ideas. For this I'm looking for a bare bones Jekyll install.

  2. 🔗Django View that returns JSON with a relationship

    I am starting to really like Django development. I'm not a python developer and I am by no means a "full stack" developer, but I keep finding ways to make things in Django without much effort.

  3. 🔗Nesting Json and Using Template Literals to Produce HTML

    I come from the R world working with data. A very common data analysis technique is to take data and group it by a variable. I wanted to do the same thing with javascript and then append the data using .innerHTML to the DOM. I am working on an app that has data that I would like the user to be able to display in various different ways. I had a really hard time finding any information on grouping data and how to loop through the grouped data to display the grouped data in HTML. I am not very good a javascript so this was quite a challange for me.

  4. 🔗D3js River flows

    I'm working on a website for a rafting non-profit. I thought it would be cool if they could display the flow data for local rivers. I also thought this would be good time for me to learn more about D3js and the USGS instantaneous flow data API.

  5. 🔗Django Relationships

    For some reason, in the winter I get the urge to learn something new. This year, I'm attempting to pick up Django again (gave an effort a year ago too). One of the things I wanted to better understand is how to implement database relationships.

  6. 🔗Colorado: Hex Plots, APIs, and D3js

    After my last blogpost I was a little frustrated at how poorly the title text resized using ggplot and ggsave. It was a minor issue to be honest, but I figured I could learn something new by exporting the data as geojson and plotting it using D3 js. So here it goes.
