Rocky Breakdown
In: Culture Interactive
16 Dec 2013Ok, I doubt many people really give a shit about the scenic breakdown of the six Rocky movies, but the implementation of this interactive graphic is pretty impressive. The real time scanning of the entire movies is very cool, and the whole think is snappy and responsive. Well done.
Public Radio Map
2 Dec 2013An interactive map showing the range of radio stations in the United States.
I tried to find a version of this including commercial stations, but the best was maps of coverage areas for single stations from radio-locator.com.
Evolution of Western Dance Music
24 Oct 2013Nicely done. I suspect some people might think that London is given credit for more than it deserves.
Animated Infographic
29 Aug 2013I have to given them credit, although this is essentially still just linkbait content-wise, the animated presentation of the information is innovative and really does keep your attention. Well done. This almost needs a new name: storygraphic?
How Old are the Buildings in Brooklyn?
In: History Interactive Maps
5 Aug 2013An absurdly detailed map of Brooklyn color-coded by the age of the buildings.
NYC Bike Share Usage
In: Culture Interactive Maps
30 Jul 2013A clever animation of how the bikes move around throughout the day. You have to watch it on slow to really get a feeling of what’s going on.
Meteorite Sightings (1913-2013)
26 Jul 2013Meteorite fireballs witnessed from 1913. I’m not sure what is gained by putting this on a map. Also, since this is just eyewitness accounts, it suffers from population density bias.
Bootstrap America
22 Jul 2013Is the American dream still alive? Can you work hard and raise your income level? Well, it kinda depends on where you live. The NYT has a couple of nice interactive tools who exploring the results of a study of the issue. (via FlowingData)
History of Spying (on ourselves; 1791-2013)
11 Jun 2013A wonderful interactive timeline of legislation, rulings, and events related to domestic surveillance in the United States. You can drill down into each event for an explanation, and links to primary sources (like the full text of legislation, etc).
What Career Should You Choose?
31 May 2013Interesting interactive scatter showing median salaries vs number of people employed – with the color of the dots indicating expected growth by 2020. You can filter by category of employment to cut down the dots a bit. It would have been nice if you could filter by expected growth rate as well.
Pakistan Drone Attacks (2004-2013)
In: Interactive Politics
26 Mar 2013The efforts that go into tracking civilian deaths in modern conflicts are admirable. The fact that we dismiss them so blatantly is crazy. Regarding the design, the annotations are a tad slow for my taste
I almost missed the histogram with links to details of each attack – select “victims” in the upper left.
Immigration / Emigration
In: Interactive Science
28 Feb 2013A very slick interactive tool for exploring world migration.
