Yeah…I’m a geek

This has got to be one of the coolest display technologies I have seen in awhile.   As soon as this is higher resolution with interactivity, it will be a killer technology…

A really interesting infographic visualizing the requests that governments request Google to remove certain pieces of information. Nothing really surprising here, but it definitely gets you thinking… Thanks to the good folks at Good for this… http://awesome.good.is/transparency/web/1007/google-requests/flash.html

Death and Taxes” is a large representational graph and poster of the federal budget. It contains over 500 programs and departments and almost every program that receives over 200 million dollars annually.

After playing with Google Wave for the past little while, I’m really starting to appreciate the openness, flexibility and collaborative nature of the technology.
