I come across a lot of clever ideas and products and most of the time I never share them with anyone, I just think to myself, “that was cool” and move along. Well, there is something to see here!

Every time I respond to a survey, I ask my interviewer where I can find the aggregate results. None have been able to answer that question definitely, and that’s a shame because I love data, especially data that can be demonstrated clearly and quickly. Here’s an example using data from the census (and ready for the 2010 data), by tract. This is interesting enough that it may make the list again when the 2010 data arrives. Respect to Michal Migurski and Stamen Design.

Don’t tell Nike what they can’t do, because they’ve already done it.
