I was inspired by a number of folks (like Steven Soderbergh and Barack Obama) who share year-end lists, so I tried (once again) to record all my media consumption in 2018. I did a pretty good job. I’m sure I missed a few. I know for sure that many dates are incorrect, as I retroactively added a lot of entries. But all in all, the Movies, TV, and Books are fairly accurate.

I’m not ranking anything. My personal rating system appears that everything is basically a 7 out of 10. So there’s that.

Music

Music I’m pulling from Spotify – which I only use about 1/3 of the time – so consider it incomplete.

My Top 100 Songs on Spotify

Yes, the kids hijacked my feed on a few. But overall a good solid shoegazing year.

Visualizations

Take A Deeper Dive

Rollover the graphs and expand to explore the data further. Click on individual graph data points and drill down by more criteria.

2018

I rebuilt this 2018 data visualization. The text below is from 2018, it was my first year doing this. It is not a mobile friendly layout. maybe someday I’ll fix that….

NOT MOBILE FRIENDLY

If you want to dig in, click below.  Use the filters at the top (though you should probably always select LAST YEAR as the date range). Also, you can click and DRILL DOWN for more info per category on each graph.

I had all the data, so I plugged it into Zoho Analytics for fast data visualization (Google Sheets Explorations are pretty helpful and fun, too). The embedded visualizations on the next page don’t display well on mobile devices. Also, these are very focused on minutes because that is what the program picked up on, and  I did not do a lot of customizations.
