A day in the life of a New York cabbie. Ever wonder what cabbies do all day? Well, now you can find out, with urban mapmaker and datavore Chris Whong's nifty visualisation of 24 hours of cab fare and location data.
An excellent example of what can be done with open data and usable API; the data was supplied by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission under a Freedom of Information request.

More NYC civic hacking projects abound at BetaNYC.
Or check out the projects resulting from Australia's annual 48 hour GovHack competition, where teams of coders and data scientists build new and interesting things from Government datasets (and energy drinks); 2013 winners, this year's project demo videos, fresh off the hacking floor.
