<p>It's been a busy few days at home and work. Â Work itself was really slow, so I started working on one large visualization project and wound up completing another smaller one in the meantime. Â I may need to take a break from protovis for a little while, as I've been working for several days straight on these projects.</p>

<p>The smaller of the two projects was a very fast (about two hours) visualization of data regarding a disturbing punishment discrepancy between heterosexual/non-heterosexual teens by both the justice system and schools. Â You can <a href="http://vis.mjs-svc.com/lgbsanction/">see in the vis</a> that, in some cases, non-heterosexual teens can be two to three times as likely to be punished by schools or police. Â Some reasons for this are debated in the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/06/AR2010120600035.html">original article</a> that was pointed out to me. Â The comments section on the article is rather distressing, I should warn.</p>

<p>The second, larger project has taken up most of my energy over the past few days. Â A friend pointed me toward the results of the <a href="http://www.klisoura.com/furrypoll.php">Furry Survey</a>, which I hadn't seen before. Â The furry community differs from society at large in several very important demographic areas, from gender to sexual orientation (or at least openness regarding the same), to mean age. Â With these important differences, I felt that a series of visualizations was almost necessary. Â I've pulled those together into a <a href="http://vis.mjs-svc.com/sf/">dashboard</a> that displays each visualization in miniature (not just thumbnails - the visualizations are reconstructed in miniature within the dashboard). Â Check it out and find out some neat things about the furry fandom. Â If you don't know what furries are... well, Google carefully.</p>
