Geofenced Living

Because an ordinance intended to keep predators away from children made it nearly impossible for them to find housing, 5 convicted sex offenders are living under a noisy highway bridge with the state’s grudging approval.

those guys could use some custom GIS

SensorMap

Microsoft’s SensorMap layers live information into Web-based maps, but which will apparently be able to take in data from all kinds of sensors, including ones that generate what is effectively lifelogging data. What if I could create an avatar of myself that recreates in a virtual world what I’m doing in the physical world, so that my family could access it when I’m away on a business trip and keep up with what I’m doing?

i like! anything to augment reality bit by bit.

Farm Subsidies

Shining light on the biggest waste of taxpayer money ever.
2007-04-04: In celebration of the new annotated Google Maps, I have created 2 maps that show your taxes at work:

Top EU CAP farm subsidy in the UK: $700 millionTop USDA farm subsidy in the US: $541 million

The top recipient of EU CAP farm subsidies in the UK got $700M, the top recipient of USDA farm subsidies in the US got $541M.

2007-08-28: Nice complement to my pork mapshop maps.
2007-11-08: This is why I make farm subsidy maps 🙂

eliminating farm subsidies in the first world and liberalizing trade would produce annual benefits of $2.4t, with 50% of that accruing to the third world.

2008-06-10: Nice! They now have their own maps, starting with Sweden. Fight the pork.
