For the past couple months, I’ve been assuming that I forever lost one of my favorite data visualization projects when my server exploded.

A nifty, visual way to visualize the 1’s and 0’s that make up digital files. It was a brainchild from a dull lecture on Mesoamerican Culture.

Yesterday, about 10 levels deep into my “heap” folder, I found it. For those who’re wondering: my “heap” folder is what I throw everything into when my three monitors get filled with icons. Old “heap” folders get thrown in, too. The folders hold what’d you find behind your bedroom dresser after three years—in a digital sense.
