Just a quick link to a very cool visualization of magnetic fields by Semiconductor. Apparently the effect is closer to art than science but the lines and sounds have a really great aesthetic. It would be really cool to have this sort of information displayed live using an augmented reality system.

Just stumbled on the periodic table of visualization which shows several different types of visualizations including tree maps, flow charts, and venn diagrams. Best of all, you can see examples of each by rolling over it's little square. Great resource thanks to Visual Literacy!

Another quick link—I was catching up on my feeds and came across this video of a brilliant talk by Hans Rosling. This guy is a Professor of International Health and currently the director of Gapminder, an organization that promotes global development through better understanding of statistics. They were initially focused on developing the visualization software, Trendalyzer, a project which was taken over by Google.

There are some great resources out there that make it a pleasure to work on Tomcat projects using the Eclipse IDE. This tutorial is one of them.

Having scoured the internet for interesting visualizations I've accumulated a bunch of bookmarks. I thought I'd share some of my favourites. Enjoy!
