Hypercities GeoSpatial Mapping Project: Cholera in Haiti « IML420 + HP470. Hypercities Overview from IML @ USC on Vimeo.
In The Ghost Map, Steven Johnson portrays John Snow as a systems-level thinker – a detective who draws connections between multiple kinds of data in order to solve real world problems. Synthesizing evidence from such diverse sources as neighborhood testimony, urban planning, and the life sciences, Snow was able to toggle effortlessly between the global and the local, providing context for his findings through the technology of the map. In this assignment, students brought the insights of Snow’s historical investigation of cholera to bear on the contemporary outbreak of cholera in Haiti, comparing the situation before and after the 2009 earthquake. Using the platform Hypercities, students worked in teams to construct their own media-rich, interactive map of the outbreak, combining both quantitative and qualitative research elements.

The free wheeling heydays of paying 100s of thousands of dollars for an education while driving around with the top down screaming, “Money ain’t a thang,” times may soon be over.
People are getting tired of paying an exorbitant amount of money for a quality education — and not even the best in the world. Employers are starting to care less and less about your degree, or where you went to school; but, more about the actual skills you possess. Self-learning is becoming the new way to advance your education, learn new skills, and may become the master’s degree of the future. Technology will play a key role in offering people around the world an opportunity to get an excellent education.

Since I am a crazy person and we are all nerds, this chart is entirely css and html. No The word "start-up" is used pretty loosely by businesses to get you to charge them less. This is the most toxic line of bullshit anyone will ever feed you. Are they a "start-up"? Did they promise you "lots of future work"? Did they promise you "exposure" or "a good portfolio piece"?
