This is a very cool little Google maps mashup. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. and then tallies the whole thing up into an out-of-100 score.
My Lawrence house: 22 out of 100. My Seattle house: 77 out of 100.

This is awesome. From an area code and prefix (i.e. 206-545-xxxx), returns a geo-location. Seems to even work really well with cell phone numbers. Badass. Visit site »
Yet another data-oriented interactive journalism project from our crew. Credit for this one goes to Matt Croydon on the data modeling, importing, and JavaScript, Christian Metts on the visual design, and Christine Metz on the reporting (yes, I said Christian Metts and Christine Metz). Good stuff. Visit site »

Fun mashup site lets you compare traffic of multiple sites. Compete aganist your friends, or pit rivals against one another. This particular link suggests that Django is taking over the Rails kingdom! Hehe Visit site »
