How to map connections with great circles
Here's the technical definition of great circles on Wikipedia: A great circle, also known as a Riemannian circle, of a sphere is the intersection of the sphere and a plane which passes through the center point of the sphere, as distinct from a small circle. Any diameter of any great circle coincides with a diameter of the sphere, and therefore all great circles have the same circumference as each other, and have the same center as the sphere. A great circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on any given sphere.
Join us for data in sight: making the transparent visual , a hands-on data visualization competition held June 24-26 at Adobe Systems, Inc.’s office in San Francisco. Coders, programmers, developers, designers, scientists – anyone who believes that data is divine and has ideas for bringing it to life – are invited to join in the fun. The program begins Friday evening with a session introducing the data sets and tools and a chance to form teams.

Whoa. What did I just read? I think most of you know of Freakonomics, but in case you don't, it started as a book in 2005, by economist Steven Levitt and journalist Stephen Dubner.Posted: October 24th, 2011 | Author: Manuel Lima | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment » **This text was part of an extinct chapter of Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information , which never saw the light of day. Instead of being forgotten in a dusty folder, I decided to make it available to the general public and invite any constructive criticism by our growing community. Hope you will find it useful.
