So, Data.gov is finally open and serving up links to data. I haven’t had a chance to dig in, yet, but since 3 of my favorite blogs (FlowingData, ProgrammableWeb, and DataVisualization) covered it, I thought I should at least mention it here.
P.S. Although not explicitly tied to data.gov, keep in mind the upcoming OECD Seminar on Innovative Approaches to Turn Statistics into Knowledge in DC July 15th and 16th. Amanda Cox from NYT is scheduled to attend. See accolades from Tufte himself. Woohoo.
Panoramas are something I’m trying to learn more about and found DPS’s 20 Great Stitched Panorama Examples a nice display of how varied panoramas can be. From massive Air Force transport planes to the standard (but breathtaking!) landscapes (mountains, the Grand Canyon, etc) to simple room shots (even a bathroom shot!), the breadth of possibilities is more than I originally thought.
In case you’re interested, my simple first panorama was taken at the Naval Academy bridge. Hope you enjoy!

Very impressive time-lapse of Death Cab for Cutie‘s Little Bribes by Ross Ching — http://rossching.com/little-bribes/. Shot almost completely in LA, he describes how he put together his video (and states that he isn’t affiliated with the band) on his website. Treat yourself to a few minutes of impressive creativity. Wow.
P.S. This has to be the dumbest name for a band (but what do I know?? My favorite band’s name is The Police! 
, but the song is fun…
