...Ninjas on the net

Just so I have this handy for the meeting in an hour and a half, I'd mentioned these diagrams that are posted to the site ArchitectureMNP. Every week they post links to interesting stuff in the NOTN posts, but they(him, her?) always sticks a real interesting map or diagram at the top of each.

All streets in the US.

'objects orbiting earth'.

internet connections in europe

Cartogram showing countries' military spending

Fun stuff to say the least. Check out Ninjas on the Net posts here. There are lots of really interesting things linked in the posts too, though much of it would be only loosely related to what we're working on.

Anyway, i thought some of these might inform our graphic description of the network of bikes throughout danmark. perhaps we could make some approximation of useage and directionality and make a sweet map that could serve as an example of what their traffic analysts and urban planners would see from the incessant stream of RFID and GPS information coming in.

See y'all soon...

one more thing

Not really on point with what we're going after, but in the same vein, I think...

TA put on a design competition recently (who knew?) that asked entrants to design infrastructural modifications to NYC to increase the ease and facility of cycling here.
