Subway Stories: Building an Visualization w/ Transit Data - Jediah Katz & Marc Zitelli -nyhackr Feb

"Every year, New Yorkers take more than a billion trips on the subway. Using data from the MTA, we mapped out how riders flow between stations at every hour. Each story explores a slice of city life."

Brilliant deep dive into prototyping, building and deploying the New York Subway Stories website.

Tune in at friday 19CET!

Since we started this show I wanted to ask Hai about his music and art. Rooted in the Amiga demo scene, he made some intense and amazing music under the names Next Life and lately Brainwash Maschine. Let's dig into this original artist visions. Welcome the OG synth ninja from Nøtterøy!

On the A/V we got the #fediverse dungeon master @lislegaard and my son Soppen55

Let’s take a look at the next installment from my visit to #SURF last week. After arriving at the Ross Campus, we walked from the end of the tram line to the first of the VERY large DUNE caverns. DUNE is the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and will consist of huge neutrino detectors comprised from 17,000 tons of liquid argon. 800,000 tons of rock has been excavated to make the caverns.

THEY. ARE. HUGE.

Each is over 100m long.

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! is approaching: This Saturday, 2025/03/15, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!

This time with focus on sad pop music and strange experimental sonic somethings, specifically:

-
#Pop music from war zones
- South American
#electroPop
-
#SmoothJazz
- Cut-up club-worthy remixes of
#remix.es
- Trauma-technological
#club punk
- Laibach-style
#EBM
- Truly experimental
#junkElectronica
- well,
#experimentalMusic in general
-
#EggPunk for cats
- Heavy
#shoegaze
- Spoken word
#doomShanties
- Dreamy
#EbassRomance

There is
#CreativeCommons licensed music, and also I thought of having at least one (amazing!) Fediverse artist in here. But turns out, the London music legend Scanner is no more part of the #Fediverse, as his instance mastodonmusic.social closed down (a reasonable decision by the admin, no hard feelings). But this is something, we, the #FediverseAdmins should keep in mind: People (especially technical non skilled ones) once lost will be disappointed and unmotivated to come back :( . This is something very deep level in #ActivityPub, I am very aware - I hope there is a way to somehow address this in the future. Scanner wrote me, he is on Bluesky now, so with a bridge, you might still be able to follow hin there (look for "robinrimbaud") – and please don't hassle him about it, he has his hands full and SN's aren't his top priority 4 now.

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)
