| I recently signed up for the Freecycle message board here in Charleston metro. Although I think the concept is novel, and it appeals greatly to someone as obsessed with yard sales and freebies as I am, I have started to sour on it. Basically, people seem to understand the intent, but have a really hard time implementing it in a practical fashion. A day's worth of posts too often reads as follows:
WANTED: XBOX 360 and games
WANTED: Washer/Dryer for new apt.
WANTED: Transmission for Dodge Dakota (Elkview)
WANTED: Sofa or loveseat, preferably brown
OFFER: Box of random junk
OFFER: puppies | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment   |

I've been playing this game, mostly at work, for the last few weeks because it's addictive like nobody's business. It's like Tetris, save for the fact that lines don't clear and the blocks don't magically fuse together once you drop them, so you're goal is to build the tallest tower possible, which becomes more and more difficult as the whole thing starts to sway.
I set a personal best almost immediately upon finding the game, and just now managed to break that after weeks of repeatedly trying to do so.

| For the number whore in me, Flowing Data is like a candy store. This dynamic map of Walmart store openings is a prime example of how apparent and interesting data can be when correctly visualized.
Interestingly, the most interesting tidbit I derived from this map was how very few people live west of the Mississippi. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
