When he mapped this data\, he was able to discover where flu outbreaks would strike up to two weeks before tra ditional news sources were able to report them. http://www.google.org/fl utrends/ \;\n \;\nThis is an example of a time when merging a spec ific type of data to its geographical coordinates resulted in a unique i nsight. However\, there is much more to do with data and visualization. What was found at Google is only the tip of a very large iceberg. Now th at we have access to so much data on the web\, we're going to see an inc reasing need to understand and present that data. \;\n \;\nAgenda : \;\nThis meetup will serve as an introduction to what's going on in the world of data viz. It will be freeform\, so if you would like to de monstrate something you're working on\, please be prepared to do so. Mic ah Elliott will be showing uGraph and Ed Borasky will do a GGobi demo. I 'll be covering what already exists in the ecosystem and what might beco me useful in the future. We're dealing with a rapid communication method here. Something that\, if done well\, compresses the time and space it takes for us to understand something. \;\n \;\nIf you're interest ed in Data Visualization\, please come to this event. It will be the fir st Portland Tech Event at WebTrends besides Web Analytics Wednesday. It' s our chance to try out the space and see if it is a good fit for this g roup or potentially for other groups in the future. \;\n \;\nGoog le Group: \;\nEd Borasky recently started a Google group called pdx- visualization. As the name implies\, it is a group for Portland-area peo ple interested in languages and techniques for visualization of data. ht tp://groups.google.com/group/pdx-visualization \;\n \;\n------ \;\n \;\nAmber Case\, @caseorganic is a Cyborg Anthropologist studyin g the interaction between humans and computers and how our relationship with information is changing the way we think\, act\, and understand the world around us. \;\n\n\nTags: data visualization\, technology\, po rtland tech\, trending\, analytics\, analysis\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250456781 URL:http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-visualization SUMMARY:Portland Data Visualization Group LOCATION:Webtrends: 851 SW 6th Ave.\, Suite 1600\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090319T053354Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090324T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090324T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090319T053354Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090319T053548Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456858 DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Kelly Feller \;\nSocial Media Strategist \; \nIntel’s Social Media Center of Excellence \;\n \;\nSupported by Widmer Brothers and WebTrends. \;\n \;\nWith all the self-proclaim ed social media pundits\, experts and gurus out there\, it’s easy to won der if the only jobs in social media are for consultants or agencies try ing to help big corporations get it.

Time to End Bloglessness!! Yay!!!!!! If you or someone you know has been looking to start a blog\, now is the t ime to get your hand held as we walk through the process. \;\n & #13\;\n We’re going to try it a little differently this time. Last time it was a 4 hour workshop helping people install a blog. This time w e’re going to help people start a hosted blog and use the time to train them on how to use it. \;\n \;\n Format \;\n &# 13\;\n Each session will be 1 hour: 15 minute presentation and 45 m inutes of assisted help. During assisted help\, attendees can raise thei r hands to get help from one of our assistants. Assistants are folks fro m the Portland tech scene that have done this process before who can hel p you with your questions. \;\n Agenda \;\n \;\n * Session 1 - Sign up for your blog 12:00-1:00pm\; \;\n * Session 2 - Dial in the settings for your blog 1:00-2:00pm\; \;\n * Session 3 - Intro to posting on your blog 2:00-3:00pm\; \ ;\n * Session 4 - How to promote your blog 3:00-4:00pm\; \;\ n * 4:00-5:00pm will be an open help time to ask help with anyt hing you’d like. \;\n \;\n What to expect \;\n \;\n We are focusing on WordPress blogs for this workshop. We c hose WordPress so that if your blog is going well enough and you need to graduate to a hosted blog\, you’re data and experience will be compatib le. \;\n \;\n By the time you leave the workshop\, you’ ll have a blog that is ready to go and some direction on how to connect with other local bloggers. We are expecting people from all skill levels \, including the technically challenged. Everyone will be treated with r espect and will be encouraged. \;\n \;\n We’ll be hosti ng the event at Webtrends. There are some computers available to use\, b ut we highly recommend bringing your laptop if you have one as there lik ely won’t be enough computers for everyone. \;\n Help us get the word out! \;\n \;\n Most of the people we’re hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline co mpletely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free workshop to get a blog up and running. We don’t care if your motivation to blog is personal\, professional\, or political\; we’ll help you get o ne up and running. \;\n \;\n * Tweet the link to th is page http://bit.ly/14OwQU \;\n * Email this page to a fri end \;\n * RSVP on Upcoming and Calagator \;\n * Tell someone in real life using your voice. Crazy\, huh? \;\n & #13\;\n Why is this free? \;\n \;\n We’re hoping t o make new friends and be good citizens. We don’t want to be an insular group\, so we want to enable others to join. And\, because we’re Portlan ders inspired by other Portlanders to DIY and that Yes We Can. :) \;\ n Help out \;\n \;\n If you have experience with i nstalling WordPress\, we’d love to have you help answer people’s questio ns.

To broaden her impact\, Corrina pursued a software engineering degree t o combine with her passion for user experience design. For Corrina\, use r experience is what matters. A product that doesn’t solve a problem\, i s difficult to use\, and doesn’t draw the user in\, regardless of how am azing the technology\, will fail. \;\n \;\nTOPIC: Creating Great U X with Expression Blend \;\nCorrina will do an intro to Blend and wal kthrough the process of creating a great user experience\; this will inv olve SketchFlow because detailing and iterating on user flow\, layout\, and animations and transitions prior to full-scale implementation is key to great UX design and this is done in tools like SketchFlow. She will also likely walkthrough the process of building a simple application in Blend to show the core functionality of Blend (maybe create a phone appl ication). \;\n \;\nWarmup - The Reactive Framework (Rx) in Silverl ight \;\nAt the beginning of the meeting (6pm) our own Eric Sterling of Vertigo will be giving a short introduction to Rx.

Jeff has a strong background in 3D graphics and animatio n and is also an accomplished author and instructor in that area — he ha s authored several books and numerous magazine articles related to 3D.&# 13\;\nAn early adopter of Silverlight\, Jeff’s interests lie in developi ng animation concepts and methodologies within Silverlight. As a develop er with design experience\, Jeff’s mission is to help bridge the gap bet ween design and development. His latest book\, “Foundation Silverlight 3 Animation” works to further this goal through a scenario-based approach . \;\n \;\nTOPIC: Procedural Animation in Microsoft Silverlight 3\;\nCome and see how trigonometry and trigonometric functions can help us create movement in Microsoft Silverlight. Trigonometry is the study o f how the angles and lengths of sides of triangles relate to one another \, and is quite useful in programming Silverlight applications. \;\n We'll talk about how to apply trigonometry within Silverlight to create free-form rotations\, calculate the distance between objects\, use Sine curves to create oscillating movement\, and more. The math will be demon strated in a scenario-based approach in order to make it easier to under stand\, even if you slept through math class. \;\n \;\nWarmup - Sm ooth Streaming w/ VideoRx \;\nAt the beginning of the meeting (6pm) R obert Reinhardt\, co-author of the Microsoft Expression Blend 2 Visual Q uickstart Guide and the Flash Bible series\, will present his latest onl ine encoding service\, videoRx.com.

Because o f this\, it's important to have at least a basic understanding of what g oes on in the server. How does a message get from a URL you type in your browser\, to a machine on another continent\, and then back? How does P HP actually generate a website? What do "\;DNS"\; or "\;TCP/ IP"\; actually mean? \;\nThis is the first (in possibly other) de eper dive into what makes the internet work. If you are a pure-designer\ , and never plan to code\, these basics are good to know.

On the other hand\, large front-end frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation are vastly better in terms of development velocity\, but let' s face it: they've become so ubiquitous that they're immediately recogni zable and thus not necessarily the best design decision in a lot of case s. So-called "\;object-oriented CSS"\; is an attempt to have it both ways�to be abstract enough to be useful in large projects while rem aining non-opinionated regarding specific design choices.

Deliverables like static wireframes or rounds of Photoshop c omps provide a muted glimpse of the experiences they are trying to repre sent\, which often result in mismanaged expectations and wasted resource s. Erin Kurtz\, Substance's Experience Director\, will present some of t he ways we are redefining our methods and deliverables by capitalizing o n the broadening skill sets of our UX\, Design and Development teams to work smarter and more efficiently in our User Experience and Visual Desi gn phases. \;\nI'm pretty excited for this talk\, as the design web f ield could use a bit of disruption. Thanks to Erin and Substance for pre senting this talk\, thanks to Webtrends for the space\, and thanks to Vi tamin T for catering dinner!\n\nTags: meetup:group=pdxweb\, meetup:event =114208192\, design\, web\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/ 1250464045 URL:http://www.meetup.com/pdxweb/events/114208192/ SUMMARY:PDX Web & Design: Alternatives to Conveying Interactive Design Co ncepts LOCATION:Webtrends: 851 SW 6th Ave.\, Suite 1600\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130627T162801Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130711T194500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130711T184500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130627T162801Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130627T162801Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250464478 DESCRIPTION:Stephen Fox is a co-founder and partner at Drink Water\, a so cial enterprise / brand created in response to energy drink marketing in action sports.

I don't think so. The small display\, "\;card"\ ; and "\;timeline"\; metaphors\, voice/visual interaction\, new gestures (like blink!) and ever-present display will present new challen ges and opportunities for designers and programmers alike. \;\n \; \nEric Redmond has spent the last few months working on the Mirror API\, and peering into the gnostic Glass SDK. He's also writing a book about Glass (woops! that's a secret). If you want a peek at the future\, or di scuss why you think this technology will fail (unlikely)\, or just want to see what all the fuss is about\, you don't want to miss this one. \;\n \;\nIf you happen to have a Glass device\, please attend!
