Map Visualizations

Worldmapper is a set of maps that distort the size of countries to make them proportional to those countries' child populations, predicted population in 2500, immigrants, net incoming tourism, passenger cars, dairy exports, and more.

Apple Boot Camp

I've been giving this lots of thought to this since Apple launched this free software that let's you boot WindowsXP on their Intel based MacBookPro. At $2,500+ the MacBookPro is at the high end of the notebook market but tha fact you can run both OS'es (and probably Linux and Windows Vista too) makes this rig a "double-plus-good" no-brainer, totally awesome rig.

Cabs and GPS

"CabSpotting traces San Francisco's taxi cabs as they travel throughout the Bay Area. The patterns traced by each cab create a living and always-changing map of city life. This map hints at economic, social, and cultural trends that are otherwise invisible."

This video clip from a Japanese competition is strangely fascinating... at least for geeks like me.
