Wow! I love blogging so much already.

Did you know that “despite its name, salted duck eggs can also be made from chicken eggs, though the taste and texture will be somewhat different, and the egg yolk will be less rich.”? (Wikipedia Link)

Yeah, I didn’t either.

Hi. I’m Frank Hangler, a data designer and developer living in Vancouver, Canada.

I am founder of Plot + Scatter, a data communication company specializing in custom-built web-based data visualizations.

In 2013-14, I studied at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, earning a Master’s of Science in the Social Science of the Internet (what a mouthful!). We studied the various social impacts of this relatively new technology — though really, we only scratched the surface. It was a fantastic year that grew my interest in data (Big, Open, and otherwise!), visualization, and smart cities.

Before that, I worked at TELUS for several years, building (mostly internal) web applications. I was a member of a development team working with new technologies. Most of my projects were tools to improve internal collaboration.
