“Groovy Motherfucker”

The first fruit of the purchase of Movity by Trulia: Visualization of the cities in the US where it makes more sense to rent than to purchase (unsurprisingly, SF falls into this category)

This is just lovely. Visualization of your LinkedIn graph, auto sorted into clusters. Interesting to see that, for example, my SF (pale blue) and Boston (purple) non-co-worker geek friends were easily filtered from each other.

Visualization of the samples on the new Girl Talk album. Amazing!

Lovely vid from the NYT. As a Sox fan, I loathe Mariano Rivera, for he is so damned good.

You’d get out of breath walking up Tenderloin Mountain. Fun visualization.

Move the BP oil spill close to geography you know to gain perspective on its size.

Seven years of Flickr source control, visualized. I think I would make my laptop weep if I attempted to run gource against the (16 gigabyte!) Slide git repo.

Yep, sums up my life.

A helpful chart for the dieting coffee-fiend.

Outstanding interactive infographic from the New York Times. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on how Americans spend their time, sliceable by demographic sectors.

Enter words and see how they overlap in Twitter usage.

Remoulding the US electoral map based upon population, rather than geographic, size.

All manner of interesting statistics and visualizations drawn out of the presidential debate transcripts.

New Radiohead video was shot without cameras, instead using lasers to get 3D data which was visualized. Chunks of the data are available from Google, so you can have a go at processing it yourself.

Whizzy Amazon-browsing UI, for those who like to judge books by their covers.

Flickr’s codebase-over-time visualized.

The last.fm music visualizer just upped the awesome a tad. I love the “posters” showing your artist preferences over time.
