“You’ve got to stop this war in Afghanistan.”
Richard Holbrooke’s last words. (via cajunboy)
This Tract is a tool created by Michal Migurski to display US Census demographics in your current location by using geolocation support built in to modern browsers. Using geofencing techniques, it’ll show you data about each level of “subdivision” you’re in: census tract, county, state, etc.
He uses a neat combination of Census data, Yahoo’s YQL, Modest Maps, and OpenStreetMap to mash together the results.
Another great example of using cutting-edge mapping tech to make public domain data actually accessible the general public.
“There are four ways in which you can spend money. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money. Then you can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost. Then, I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch! Finally, I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government.”
Milton Friedman
