Filed for future inspiration.
Gorgeous visualization of social activities in New York, London and Paris.
“Examine Netflix rental patterns, neighborhood by neighborhood, in a dozen cities.” Truly fascinating interactive graphic. The Mad Men pattern is particularly interesting.
I love the attention to detail given to these infographics. The craft and time that went into creating them is so apparent. My assumption is it’s because people really thought they would be around for a long time. Unfortunately, it’s all to common for me to feel the stuff I’m working on is just going to be deleted pixels in a few years.
Norway just looks creepy.
Want. These are absolutely gorgeous, but the national parks one is by far my favorite.
My good friend Adam DuVander is writing a book about Map Scripting. I’ve been reading his writing for years, on his blog and over at Web Monkey, so I have little doubt it’ll be fantastic.
Yep, the New York times map was by far the best. I love this collection though!
Make sure you know where you need to go on November 4th.
I love maps, and transmit maps are probably my favorite. And of transit maps, the London Underground is probably in my top 5. I haven’t found the time to watch this yet, but I’m looking forward to watching it when I finally do. From the 5 minutes I did watch, it looks fantastic.
Yet another great infographic from the NY Times illustrating who voted against the $700 billion financial bailout plan.
I absolutely love this interactive graphic depicting the medal counts since the modern games inception in 1896. Big kudos for representing the different regions using color and a rough “map” via large circles. It’s great that you can quickly flip to just a straight numerical order too though.
Nice heat map of the most walkable neighborhoods in Seattle. Wallingford coming in at a respectable #10.
The future is here. Still no word on my jet pack order though. I’m blaming UPS.
A very cool data visualization of every bus vehicle arrival at every stop in the Portland area transit system over from 4AM to 12-midnight on a weekday.
Apparently Arizona’s got the cheap stuff.
“All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments.” Truly stunning infographic from Ben Fry.
I stunning inforgraphic depicting the subprime mortgage crisis across the U.S.
Like dodgeball, but a bit more and hasn’t been abandoned. A nice visual design and the interactions are solid. I’m not ready to predict big things from it yet, but it has potential.
Powerful and incredibly well done infographic “maps”. Somalia was the most surprising to me.
Rex Sorgatz does a fantastic job interviewing Adrian Holovaty about EveryBlock. I wish I got to hang out a few more times with Rex before he headed out to NY.
They are opening up their API so you can get access to neighborhood data which is going to be perfect for a project I’m working on. Awesome.
It’s a little dated now that Facebook is so popular but still great stuff. I think my favorite part is the dotted line usenet that’s shaped like a UFO.
“Rather than defining each country by size, these computer-generated modified maps - or cartograms - redraw the globe with each country’s size proportionate to its strengths, or weaknesses, in a whole series of categories.”
Tetris with states. I love the concept but after trying to place Idaho just right 5 times in a row I was pretty annoyed with it.
