The web site Data Pointed is run by Stephen Von Worley who is an artist and scientist specializing in data visualization research. He has created a Factor Conga which he describes as
a promenade of primes, composites, and their constituents, arranged with an aesthetically-tuned variation of Yorgey’s rules, one per second.
Check out the Animated Factorized Visualization, which appears to be all done with javascript.
The other night I happened to see a tweet come across my twitter stream from Joe Walnes (@joewalnes) about a resistor color code tool he created. You can find it at the clever domain resisto.rs. Type in a value and see what the proper color code should be. This is great for when you need to go searching through a pile of resistors and want to make sure you have the code right.
Nice job @joewalnes!
Also, you can fork the code from github.
Documentation, Documentation. Documentation.
It is always critical to document progress is a log book. If using an electronic tool like Evernote or a Blog, it can be difficult to document equations or calculations you’ve made in a project.
Vision Objects has put together a demo tool that allows for writing your equation in freehand which then uses image recognition to covert into LaTeX code.
For convenience, there is a direct link to WolframAlpha to calculate the equation. A preview of the LaTeX Equation is provided by the open-source MathJax javascript rendering engine.
