Warren Ellis -- War Haunted
Warren Ellis -- War Haunted
Warren Ellis writes: These are, I’m told, the work of one Sergei Larenkov, and they are wonderful. He’s reshot WW2-era photographs in the present day, from their original perspectives, and then faded the original in.
Ellis tells you a bit about the images (and shows some).
The photos are 'shopped photos taken during the Siege of Leningrad mashed up with the identical scene from modern St. Petersburg. The edges of buildings and trims and fences match up. Marvelous dissonance.
See more.

eightmaps -- oh, my Prop 8
eightmaps
A mashup of pro-Prop8 donations and Google maps.
Want to know if your neighbors donated to the Yes-On-Prop8 campaign? Here's your click.
(None of my neighbors donated according to this site, but then I live in a very not-Republican sector of town ...)
(Oh. Here's a student who donated $500 to the yes-on-8 campaign. Gosh. I wish I'd had that kind of money when I was a student.)

Pin the Tail -- Patterns, Land Use
Pin the Tail -- Patterns, Land Use
Interesting blog post from Sophia Travis @ Pin the Tail comparing red/blue voting patterns in the south for the 2008 presidential election and cotton production in the same region in 1860.
What does this mean? All those old plantation owners' heirs and assigns are Democrats?

Election 2008 – some fun from Peter Seibel @ Gigamonkeys
Election 2008 – some fun
dashboard periodically fetches the market price of Intrade’s state-by-state election markets, which represent the probability, as assessed by the Intrade traders, that a given candidate will win a given state. From those probabilities I compute the overall probability of various scenarios and color the map appropriate shades of blue and red. I also provide some dials and knobs (sliders) actually, to allow you to play some real-time "what if" games with the results.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
