cabspotting is a visualization which traces the movements of taxis as they drive around san francisco. it leverages the GPS units installed in the yellow cabs to produce some seriously gorgeous images.

this little flash drive inflates as more data is added, providing an at-a-glance, not to mention tactile, way of determining how full your drive is. supposedly it remains inflated even when the power is off. cute and stylish... but soon we will be plagued with the new USBeXpl0d3r virus ;]

first: i am finally back to blogging after my website overhaul prompted me to redesign the blog before i bothered posting again. these things always take longer than they should.

this is a really nice visualization from the modern language association. it allows you to see what languages [33 to choose from] are spoken at home all over america. it does not allow you to use firefox, bummer.

thanks [memepool]
