Made out of people

More JUNG/Soylent pictures

This is the deadline week for CSCW papers, so I'm not actually terribly functional this week. But deadline weeks are also when I go through my image libraries to find things to illustrate my papers with.

Here's a few tweaks to JUNG, and a few tweaks to Soylent, and we get something that--I think--begins to tell a little bit of a story. Darker colors are more recent; lighter colors are older.

And this person, at the large square in the middle, has three different interlinked clusters around him, roughly arranged by date.

As before, if this is a snapshot of my mail, it's centered on one friend of mine (noted with a larger square). We read an edge on this graph to mean "I have made a connection--by mututally emailing both--between these two people." And now an edge, and a node, is labelled by my MOST RECENT encounter.

Note that some edges are a little lighter or darker than the edges around them--that suggests a relationship that continued a little longer than the ones around it.

Some nodes are darker than the edges they connect to. That means that my relationship with the person at the end of the edge has continued on beyond my interaction with the pair of them. For example, that's how "I still chat with both of them individually, even though they're no longer dating" would look. It's also how "colleagues A & B worked with me on a project a while back" would look.
