Dan Dunn’s Podium

Everyday, I marvel at wonders of the internet.  Today’s is extra special, because apparently hundreds of thousands of Germans watch this for the fun of it.

That blog post title was shamelessly lifted from Deadspin, who picked up the story (with a less-funny headline) from Pat’s Papers.  I really hope it’s not a hoax, because it’s a great example of data display.
Check out the water consumption in the city of Edmonton during the Canada-US gold-medal hockey game:

Totally cool video here of an Atlas V launch.  The first 30 seconds are pointless, the next 60 seconds are interesting, and the 1:30-2:00 are just awesome. Hit the little button in the lower-right and watch it full screen.
