Points, Polygons and Power Outages
Most of my free coding time has been spent tweaking a D3-based live power outage tracker for Central Maine Power customers (there's also a woefully less-featured Shiny app for it, too). There is some R associated with the D3 vis, but it's…

Alternative to Grouped Bar Charts in R
and, I obliged shortly thereafter, but figured I'd toss a post up on the blog before heading to…
