Remind me this talk with analogic data viz (Even if its not exactly l'ego but blocks/cases) 😉 : https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_global_population_growth_box_by_box?subtitle=en

Did not know about it, thanks for the ref !

Very cool!! 🤩

Thanks Tony !

Excellent and very approachable aesthetics :-)

Thank you, it’s only made with basic GIS operations (grid and centroid) but Lego blocks aren’t complicated either after all !

I hope the Danish data journalists get on board with this aesthetic :-)

Would love to see a physical version if the aesthetic spread !

Be carful that they don't sue you for using their name! 😶‍🌫️

Any bad experience in the past ? ;)

Big fan of the product but heard and read a lot about their bad (or protective) company behavior.

Big fan also (that’s great to have a kid for that reason 😁)
Hope they stay on the other network then!

The author of the https://brickr.org/index.html pkg actually got a job at Lego! (He made the pkg before getting on there)

Oh hey, he's here! @ryantimpe.bsky.social I remember thinking it was so cool watching you dev that pkg and then start working there.

That’s a great trivia ! I would love to work for on a code to create real Lego maps 🤩

Looks amazing

Thanks !
