The Twitterverse v0.9 by @BrianSolis

It’s my dream/goal to create something someday that spawns a whole economy of sites/businesses around it.

Beautiful and inspired.

Visualizing the US power grid.

A neat data viz map of the US that allows you to see major power line arteries, types of power plants and their locations, and what source the power comes from in your area. There are even layers that show solar and wind power, and where those are most effective.

Looks like Florida is powered by:

• 38% Gas
• 28% Coal
• 17% Oil
• 13% Nuclear

13% of Florida energy comes from three nuclear facilities: Crystal River, Turkey Point, and St. Lucie. That’s pretty impressive. Nuclear power provides 48% of Illinois’ energy, and a whopping 71% of Vermont’s. It’s also interesting to see how important hydro power is to the Pacific Northwest, mostly sourced from the Grand Coulee and Chief Joseph dams on the Columbia River.

The chronology of Back to the Future.

The Congressional Budget Office’s deconstruction of the $819 billion stimulus package.

O. M. F. G.

Google is producing a map showing results from the New Hampshire primary with their “My Maps” feature. They’ve already done one for the Iowa Caucus.

Looks like there’s an interesting correlation between the searches for “turkey” and those for “diet.” I don’t think Americans will ever learn.
