Mapping the Republican Delegate count - A Race to 1144

Here is a good link to the Republican Delegate count race to 1144 - the number required to win the GOP nomination.

Watch this space .... the interactive "play historical gains by state" make it a neat way to monitor change is delegate voting preferences by candidate & region of the country.



Taken from the NY Times Politics section for the 2012 election.

Moving out of New York (and into): The Visualization of Where

Found this  - a wonderful interactive visual display of New York migration patterns by zip code.  Really at its base, there are two key bits of information driving this map - where to & from by zip.


Taking a "dot cartogram" approach, I like to the "in-out" color thematics and inter route line connections to origin and destination zip codes.


This was part of 15 data "interpretations" featured on FlowingData and WNYC. Read/view more on the other submission below.

Full credits to Moritz Stefaner (moritz.stefaner.eu)  - great work! Also thanks to FlowingData Mapping the moves of New York residents for bringing this to my attention.

Mapping Oil Slicks - NY Times interactive visualization of the Gulf oil spill plume


Quick "Cut and Paste" highlights:


" ...The “probable extent” of the oil slick is an estimate by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of where oil is mostly likely to go based on wind and ocean current forecasts, as well as analysis of aerial photography and satellite imagery. The “observed extent” show areas where oil was visible on the surface of the water during aerial surveys of the Gulf. The observed extents are not available every day. The extents may vary widely from day to day because of changes in wind patterns and ocean currents...."



For more on the estimates, see this article.
