Two Maps of the United States #
May 7th, 2008 | In Worth Seeing
Both of these caught my eye:
- Delicious Ghost found some maps of where personality types, like extroversion and agreeableness, are located within (48 of) the United States. They’re from a column by Richard Florida, who has many more maps available on his site.
- Ben Fry, who recently made the “all streets” map, was pointed to a map [PDF] of the distance to a road in (48 of) the United States. He was pointed there by Tom Vanderbilt, who wrote that recent diatribe against playsets in your yard.
Comparing Cities #
April 2nd, 2008 | In Worth Seeing
The Economist compares the cost of living in cities around the world. I was rather surprised that neither London nor New York came out on top. As proof of my ignorance they say Norway’s Oslo has topped the list since 2005.
Also, this map of American cities and their singles sex ratio has been floating around. It appears to have originated on The Daily Dish. It appears to be related to Richard Florida’s recent Who’s Your City?
