For her thesis at MIT, Anita Lillie developed some interesting software for visualizing music libraries.
I finally had the time (and the computer!) to put together a demo video of MusicBox. This video, more than the others on this site, shows a wide range of features, all from the most recent version of the software. I hope you find it a helpful introduction to my thesis project.
Check out the MusicBox demo video.

Ben Fry, from Processing fame, created this U.S. map made only of roads, indirectly showing where the population is concentrated.
An image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic features) have been added to this image, however they emerge as roads avoid mountains, and sparse areas convey low population.
Ben Fry and Casey Reas, the main developers of Processing, both took part in an interview for Fill/Stroke.

I just read an AP article about how the United States federal budget deficit is nearing “$407B”.
Just spend one minute really considering that amount of money. 407,000,000,000.00$
I think it should be a federal law that any time you request a large amount of money you have to write out (including all zeros) exactly how much we’re already in debt.
That is all.

Tracking space junk in realtime via Google Earth
I’ve been bewildered lately by the amount of space junk (debris, inactive satellites, active satellites, etc) orbiting Earth. Not only is allowing this junk to remain in orbit irresponsible, it’s beginning to cause serious complications. Read more. →
