Britain From Above #
A very cool short video from “the Beeb.” My favorite is probably the view of London taxis during a day, but they’re all pretty good visualizations.

Digg Rings #
In today’s “awesome-looking but mostly purposeless charts” category, I submit Chris Harrison’s Digg Rings.

Visualizing Flight Patterns #
I linked to a part of Aaron Koblin’s Flight Patterns project a few weeks ago, without recognizing it as such. Neatorama has compiled some valuable links to his work, and pointed out the awesome video in the title link. Their summary:
In 2005, Aaron Koblin took all of the air traffic over United States data, as seen by the FAA, and visualized it in a beautiful animation. Aaron’s work was originally developed as a series of experiments for the “Celestial Mechanics” project (eye candy!) by Scott Hesels and Gabriel Dunne at UCLA.
Visualizing Color Names #
Remember this? Well, people have been working on ways to revisualize the color names that Dolores Lab crowd-sourced. Color Flower is my favorite, but the others are nice too.
