Walking in Holden's Footsteps - Interactive Map - NYTimes.com
"Trace Holden Caulfield's perambulations around Manhattan in "The Catcher in the Rye" to places like the Edmont Hotel, where Holden had an awkward encounter with Sunny the hooker; the lake in Central Park, where he wondered about the ducks in winter; and the clock at the Biltmore, where he waited for his date." Lovely.

Kars releases the source for his travel-time map of the Netherlands. Nice to see the artefact-as-code, as well as the artefact-as-design.

BIGGEST DRAWING IN THE WORLD
Self-portrait sketched out in GPS traces across the globe. Or at least, across one particular projection of the globe. I'm just pleased to know things like this work.

254 - Ludacris’ Rap Map of US Area Codes « Strange Maps
"I’m a female and a feminist. I dislike the usage of the word ‘ho’. However, as a geography major, I find this song hilarious, and had to map it." A more accurate-than-normal piece of hip-hop infographics.

Oakland Crimespotting
The Stamen gang mash up screen-scraped Oakland crime data and put it on a map. This is not just any "put it on a map", though; the work they're doing with Modest Maps really is putting red dot fever totally to shame.
