In anticipation of the 2008 Games, opening this coming Friday, the New York Times made an incredible interactive map that shows the number of medals won by each country at each of the games since 1896. It’s a great example of creative, meaningful information display. You can see the map here.

We’re working on a kinetic type project at the moment, and in researching examples came across the famous Abbott and Costello routine brought to life - it’s both beautiful and very, very funny.
