Yesterday, while biking home, I read this snippet from a Lucebert poem on a poster: Lectures have started a week ago, and in just these eight days or so I've started 2 regular courses, 2 honours courses, my bachelor thesis, I've started running >15km a week, I'm starting lifting weights to become fitter. I've been asked to become treasurer for the club I care about most, and I'm gonna compete in an Esri competition which -if I win of course- might get me a week to San Diego for free. Also, I found a masters degree that sounds really interesting, I hope it will live up to my expectations. All in all I'm really stoked to see what the next months will bring!
It loosely translates into I unravel a small, neat revolution / and I plunge and I rustle and I sing. It's very close to how I feel about this past week. I'm unraveling my own personal revolution, and enjoying the unraveling every step of the way. ik draai een kleine mooie ritselende revolutie af
en ik val en ik ruis en ik zing
Every line represents one bike trip made with Citibike in Manhattan and Brooklyn on July 1st of last year. The line appears when someone starts biking and disappears when the bike has been returned to a station. What I've basically created is a Python script that reads the original data, extracts the start and endtime and draws a line between them with the accompanying coordinates. Then, it creates a layer for every frame in ArcGIS and exports all the frames as a PNG so I can load it into my video editor. Now that I have my workflow actually working, I can improve the design so it'll hopefully make more intuitive sense as to what you're looking at.
