All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: 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.

Really nice infographics that show the movement of various baseball pitches. Beyond the ones everyone knows (fastball, curve, slider, etc.), it goes into some of the more obscure pitches (slurve, circle change, palmball, etc.). Very handy reference, and beautifully illustrated. Nice looking site, too. Visit site »

Favorites: this is how we chill (Souls of Mischief!), what to do with a freak (DU!), three MCs and one DJ (Beastie Boys!), Amount of Obtained Ass (Nate Dogg!), and of course, the one about Caribou Lou, the drink I’m spreading across the country via web conferences (Tech N9NE!).

Good stuff. Visit site »
