In my day job, I'm a data geek who drools over clever new visualization techniques. I should have a bumper sticker that says "I *heart* infographics" alongside my "13.1" and "

Fortunately I'm not alone in my
neurosis passion. And occasionally my two obsessions come together nicely. Case in point:
Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the data collected by Nike+ technology? Well... the clever folks and YesYesNo and Design Forces teamed up to create an on-map visualization of all of the runs Nike+ users did in Manhattan in a year.
