This is really cool - reminds me of the popvscoke site or the potato bug debate last week. The slide show's a little janky but generally works well. Needs a self-report thing for aggregating user-determined data. The standalone version will be available for download on April 15, 2005 <----bomb

Pretty neat stuff, its a little slow and they should spell check pages before they go live (check out Interactive on the home page). And once this is downloadable, it will be supercool. Especially if I can download it to my PDA!

Needs a self-report thing for aggregating user-determined data. It's beta and more data (and perhaps more analytical tools) will be added to the site over the next few months. The standalone version will be available for download on April 15, 2005 <----bomb "Bomb"?

And here I thought I live in a "white" neighborhood. Can anyone tell me what a "bodega" is?

A bodega originally meant a Latin owned corner store, but is often applied to any immigrant owned corner store.

Oh, ok. We always called it the 40/420 store for some unknown reason.

Wow. The coolest thing I've seen posted to MeFi in ages. Many times I would have paid handsomely for some of this data and interface.

15-25% of my neighbors heat with coal or wood in my 90-100% rural area. Excellent.

I heat with wood at my cabin. Bomb = the bomb.
