I am having trouble installing the Python Imaging Library on my computer, which is because X code was deleted off my computer when I reinstalled Mac OS X on top of the same operating system because my system library became corrupted during a maintenance operation. I plan on wiping my computer over spring break. However, until then I am unable to run the Python Imaging Library, here is what I did:

Part 2
I am having trouble with my data sets and since I am unable to install Python Imaging Library I was unable to complete this section. 

Part 3

I explored Many Eyes (http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/), which is a visualization tool for data sets. I found some data sets which worked well, such as the Movie Genres 1888 to 2012 Count ( http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/visualizations/movie-genres-1888-2012-count) and the Words Appearing in Titles of Film Noir Movies on IMDB.
(http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/visualizations/words-appearing-in-titles-of-film-no)

I also discovered some data sets which did not work well, such as Movies By Genre.
(http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/visualizations/new/wordle/movies-by-genre-20)

I enjoyed how easy the data sets are downloadable, the ability to see the same data in several different ways and how users are able to share their visualizations with other users.
