My Life in Weeks
Hey, Jeremy here. Each box on this grid represents one week of my life. It is interspersed with events and situations. (Although as I filled this out, I began to feel a bit squeamish about adding a bunch of personal stuff. So for now, this is an odd mixture of pivotal world events and places where I’ve lived and worked. 🤷)
This is based on a 2014 post by Tim Urban at Wait But Why, Buster Benson’s interactive version, and, more recently, Gina Trapani’s implementation. I do love a combination data visualization / mortality reminder, so I decided to make my own based on their examples.
