The Britney Spears Problem - Stream Gauges
Suppose a pipeline delivers an endless sequence of nonnegative integers at a steady rate of one number every t time units. We want to build a device—call it a stream gauge—that intercepts the stream and displays answers to certain questions about the numbers.

copenhagen wheel project
use your phone to unlock and
lock your bike, change gears and select how much the motor assists you.
As you cycle, the wheel’s sensing unit is also capturing your effort level and
information about your surroundings, including road conditions, carbon monoxide,
NOx, noise, ambient temperature and relative humidity. Access this data
through your phone or the web and use it to plan healthier bike routes,
to achieve your exercise goals or to meet up with friends on the go.
You can also share your data with friends, or with your city - anonymously
if you wish – thereby contributing to a fine-grained database of
environmental information from which we can all benefit.

PhotoMaker
interesting how Placemaker reacts differently to a text with "Rouen" and "at Rouen"This small mashup uses YQL to combine the power of Flickr and Yahoo! Placemaker. Copy and paste some text into the textbox below and click the button — application will first geo-locate all places in the text, and then will try to find photographs, published under Creative Commons license, which were geotagged at or near found places.
