The marriage of technology and raw data can create some beautiful and new ways of visualizing the natural world. Wind Map shows the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US in real time. Designers Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg seek to invent new ways for people to think and talk about data in hopes that visualization can move beyond numbers into the realm of words and images.

Film, photography, music and literature monopolize his time these days. Drew lives in Brooklyn, NY, eats too many cheeseburgers at the Commodore and hopes to carry on simply one day on a big piece of land by the sea without the computer or YouTube.
