The local data index has links to current weather conditions and data maps for Silver Lake, Ohio. The weather conditions are updated every 30 minutes from a sensor station on top of my house, while the data maps are implemented using the Google Maps API. There is also a page of regular eyeball maps for Silver Lake, Ohio, USA.
Weather
The weather data is provided by a Davis Instruments Weather Monitor II mounted on top of the house. It constantly senses the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and more, then transmits that information through a wire to a server in my basement. The server formats the information and puts it on the web every thirty minutes. Does it get any cooler than that? I had a lot of fun setting it up, calibrating everything and working with the data. I'm sure there is more I can do with it, when I get the time.
Data Maps
The interactive data maps are an experiment in plotting various kinds of data across an accurate geographic image. They use Ajax to load and format data, then plot it on the map. The maps themselves are provided by the Google Maps API, which is simple and easy to work with. Note that you can click and scroll these maps, as well as changing from satellite to map views.
Eyeballing
This is an eyeballing example for Silver Lake Village, Ohio, USA. The practice of eyeballing is interesting to me because of it's relation to plotting data on a map and combining data with relevant images.
