Alternative ggplot2 use: Crochet Patterns

Ryan McShane, Ph.D. demonstrates an unconventional use of ggplot2 to aid in crochet pattern design decisions. While attending a virtual statistics conference, McShane's partner works on a Chicago flag-inspired crochet baby blanket. To assist with visualizing the design, McShane employs ggplot2 to represent different pattern possibilities for the granny square arrangement, effectively combining data visualization with crafting. The article includes code snippets and detailed explanations on how to implement this creative application of ggplot2, turning a statistical tool into an artistic aid.

Apple Music Wrapped with R

Andrew Heiss demonstrates how to create an Apple Music Wrapped equivalent using R, providing a data-driven alternative for Apple Music users who lack the Spotify Wrapped feature. Heiss shares his personal preference for owning music files over streaming, utilizing iTunes/Apple Music and iTunes Match for cross-device access. The article details extracting song metadata from an XML file, which stores play counts and other information, to perform data analysis and visualization, mimicking the Spotify Wrapped experience. He criticizes the single-entry play count system but optimistically approaches creating personalized music data statistics.
