Listen to Wikipedia is a fun visual & audio project that gives life to real-time edits on Wikipedia.

For the visualization, green circles are anonymous edits, purple circles are bots, and white circles are edits by registered users. The size of the circles represent the size (in bytes) of the edit made.

Fro the audio portion, bells are additions and string plucks are subtractions. Pitch changes according to the size of the edit; the larger the edit, the deeper the note.

Listen to Wikipedia was written by Stephen LaPorte and Mahmoud Hashemi, and is open-source. [Github link] This project was built using D3 and HowlerJS. You can read more about their project in their blog post.

Kennth Field used Nasa’s data to create this Annular Eclipse infographic. The graphic combines the information of where the eclipse had its highest coverage, as well as the time of day it was at its peak. It also shares the direct path of the moon and some basic information on what an eclipse is.

Overall, a beautiful summary with very little verbiage. In only a few seconds, you could tell how obscured the Sun was going to be in your part of the U.S.

Thanks for RJ Andrews for bringing this graphic to our attention!

NRC staffers hold a meeting on board the Nuclear Ship Savannah, docked in Baltimore, to accept public comments on the vessel’s License Termination Plan. The hybrid session is the first time the NRC has conducted a public meeting aboard a seagoing vessel. As the Savannah nears the end of a multi-year decommissioning process, the U.S. Maritime Administration submitted the termination plan for NRC review. It spells out how the final steps will be carried out, including thorough checks for any residual radioactivity. The Savannah was defueled in 1971 and its reactor vessel removed at the end of 2022.

Paul Boag has written a guest blog post for "Brian Kelly's UK Web Focus: Reflections On The Web" blog [2007-06-04]

Paul Boag, from Headscape, considers how social participation is the cornerstone of the web 2.0 movement and has been spearheaded by sites such as digg.com. One of the underlying principles of these sites is that peer to peer recommendations carry more weight than those from either a search engine or from corporate advertising. The commercial sector has been quick to adopt this peer review mechanism with customer reviews and ratings. This talk proposes to explore how social participation can be applied to the process of recruiting new students and what lessons can be learnt from the approach adopted by the commercial sector. We will also look at what institutional barriers exist that prevent this approach and how these can be overcome.
