Keyboard Heatmap

A visualization of the frequency of character appearing in over a dozen classic English language novels on a QWERTY keyboard. I wrote a small php program to read the text of the novels (obtained from https://www.gutenberg.org/) to count each character included on the final keyboard and output those in JSON format for JavaScript to read and generate the graphic as HTML. I printed the page as a PDF and imported that into Inkscape.

Declaration Translated

Thomas Jefferson is without a doubt an important man in American history. He was only a young man but was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence. That document outlined the reason when the Thirteen Colonies deserved to be independent from the tyrannical British Empire. This comic shows the eloquent approach of Jefferson and how he might have handled it today.

This is the second comic about the characters I created for the comic, “Things That go Bump in the Night.” This time Professor Bump describes research data but mistakenly converted the values to binary making the plot of little value.
