I’ve been helping Mike and Tom with some new improvements on Oakland Crimespotting. We’ve added a new feature for filtering crime by time of day. We’ve been calling this new feature the “time pie”! The time pie shows a 24 hour period and allows the user to select time segments of commute hours, nightlife hours and police shifts. Sunrise and sunsets hours are also indicated. The user may also select specific hours by dragging thru the time pie. The date slider on the map has also been updated with the ability to page forward and backward through time for data since summer of 2007.
We’ve also switched the map to Pale Dawn, the map style we created for Cloudmade early this year. This map style was created specifically for data overlay.

Catching up on all the new work that launched recently! Here’s another hurricane piece we did for MSNBC displaying historical hurricane data since 1851. The map has several ways of filtering and viewing hurricane paths, with sliders for time, hurricane strength and landfall location. Learn more about the project from Eric and Tom’s blog posts.

Explore the new California Academy of Sciences space in Golden Gate Park with our new map. The new Academy building was designed by Renzo Piano. The new structure has been applauded as the world’s greenest museum space, earning a platinum rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). It houses a 4-story rainforest, aquarium, planetarium, a living roof and more.
The Academy Exhibit Map conveys the fluidity of the unique museum space from water to sky, showing transitions from the lower levels of the Philippine Coral Reef to the top level of the Living Roof. Explore the exhibits, plan your visit or get to know the space.
Designed and built by Stamen in collaboration with the Interactive Media Group at the California Academy of Sciences.

This month Cloudmade launched it’s Developers Programme. Sourced from OpenStreetMap data, Cloudmade provides tools and APIs that allow developers to make the most of map data as well as provide a variety of map styles developers can choose from. Mike and I created three map styles that were presented at the launch in San Francisco and London. We created these maps using Cascadenik.
Fresh
Fresh was created for web-based applications.
Midnight Commander
We created a map style inspired by scifi films.
Pale Dawn
Pale Dawn was created as an underlayer map style to be used as a background layer with data as foreground.

that we choose to report are mainly products of human culture. These signals tend to be patterned energy, such as TV broadcasts and songs. Artifacts are recombined matter, such as bricks, BIC pens and microchips. Some of the more beautiful types of human work are ones that are both signal and artifact. But then, physicists may argue that distinctions between matter and energy are ultimately an illusion. In this web log, we will point out, talk a little about and sometimes illustrate some compelling and just plain interesting signals and artifacts. Until we know better, all of these will be from Earth.

Trulia Snapshot just launched! Snapshot is another visualization tool built by Stamen for the real estate search engine Trulia. Tom Carden and Ryan Alexander built the amazing interface. I worked on design. Snapshot is a real estate image browser. It shows an alternate magazine-like view of Trulia’s image data of homes all over the U.S.. It is now part of Trulia’s growing list of visualization tools, featured in a new section called TruliaExplore. Trulia Hindsight is also featured here.
