The Umali Awards
a public thank you and an acknowledgement or,
a celebration of life as lived

1stAnnual 7thAnnual

Welcome to the Umali Awards website.

The Umali Awards is an awards show where the awards handed out pertain to how I've lived my life the previous year. Categories include: How I Like My Eggs, Best Dining Out Experience, Best Day. Also, the Top 10 people I spoke to (measured by how many days in which I spoke to that person im a calendar year) are announced and recognized. The Umali Awards is a party, a reason to get dressed up, an art event, and one of the major ways this data-keeping project is expressed to the world.

Navigate to each year's Awards - a few pages only show the Top 10 People, these were made ages ago - by clicking on the appropriate graphic. There's also a link to the blog, a repository of sorts of data visualization experiments and thoughts on the how and whys of keeping track; and there's also a link to the Umali Awards Flickr group, a repository of pictorial evidence of all the Umali Awards.

The 11th Annual Umali Awards occured on June 9th, 2012 at the Green Gallery West in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. People looked beautiful and they, like me, were treated to an event like none other.

The 12th Annual Umali Awards is going to take place on May 18th, 2013 at Imagination Giants:
