My Job, In Wildlife Metaphor

I am a momma bird who eats data. I chew it up, swirl it around, cut it 100 different ways, and puke it back up in a digestible form for my baby bird clients.

If I'm doing my job right, it comes up as a coherent story about a place, a time and a community.

If I'm doing my job right, it looks easy. It isn't.

Despite my unappetizing description, it's actually quite an interesting and enjoyable process.

completely unrelated, but there's a building in London nicknamed "the Erotic Gherkin" because it's so phallic. check it out:

it was voted best uncircumcised phallic building by cabinet magazine readers:
