That's awesome. But it seems to be crumbling under server load already. Anyone have a complete cache?

Very cool. Here's another way of viewing that might be a bit easier. You can start at one and use the arrows to go forward.

That's amazing and depressing at the same time. I'd hate to have tried loading the original page on dialup.

These are cool. I like the ones with numbers (life expectancy) and arrows (refugee flow). Edutaining.

Has Ingo got something against Japan? I noticed a couple globes singling Japan out for income inequity v. the rest of the world. It may just be that they lead the lists he's looking at. Or something else.

I found myself frustrated by these. I just wanted to say "So?" in response to many of the frames.

"Death penalty in effect" in Canada? (047)

Many of these are just artsy, or artsy with a point (but not a quantitative one).

Many of these are great -- I just wish I could rotate them!
