Hi Archinect!
By now, you've probably seen Google's April 1 release of its 8-bit map for NES. 
But have you seen this real-time animated map of wind in the United States?
And this Metro Distortion Map that shows the travel time to stations in Washington DC?
And Mapnificent, which shows what places you can reach by public transit within a given travel?
And of course, there are Eric Fischer's maps of ethnicity, Twitter Geotags, Locals and Tourists, and his Geotagger's World Atlas.
If there are other map projects you know and love, please post links in the comments!
thanks for reading!

Lectures and exhibitions, life in the trays, happenings around Cambridge...and once in a while, some studio and course work. Please note that all live blogs are abridged and approximate. If you want to see exactly what happened, in most cases a video of the event is posted online by the event's hosts. If you have concerns about how you are quoted, please contact me via Archinect's email.

Awesome stuff, Lian!
This may be more in the realm of infographics, but visualcomplexity.com has plenty of sexy maps.
here's some more excellent maps.
Nice! Thanks!
Very cool! There are two other visualizations that are worth showing side-by-side with the Wind Flow - David Hicks Water Flow and Perpetual Ocean...
