Timeplot

Yesterday, I repaired some breakage in the timeline that decorates my list of recent talks. This led to a fresh visit to the SIMILE project at MIT, which produces some nice AJAXy widgets.

Today, I ran up a quick demonstration of using Simile Timeplot with Tinderbox to embed time series graphs in Web pages, with live data fed straight from your Tinderbox document.

In the example, the number of posts for each month is automatically gathered, formatted, and exported in a handy form that Simile can read.

I'd love to hear about other projects like this, whether for gardening, for the quantified self, or for something completely different. Would a screencast be useful? A webinar? A workshop?
