Weekend Fodder

Footprints – Every building footprint, and nothing else, in Montgomery County, Ohio. It’s interesting how buildings can define an area.

Data, data everywhere – The Economist reports on the explosion of big data and the challenges that come with it.

Q&A With Shawn Allen of Stamen Design – Always interesting to hear from these guys [thx, tim].

The Case For An Older Woman – Another thoughtful analysis from the okcupid group on why men should be more open-minded to dating older women.
