45 minutes from London
45 minutes from London: A great interactive map, of a type I hadn't seen before... a subway map of London has a two-ended slider, setting minimum and maximum travel times. Specify that you want a trip to take no more than 45 minutes, and distant regions are shaded out. Conversely, if you know that someone takes a half-hour to reach central London, adjust both sliders to find the possible stations they may have entered. A second SWF map adds a second two-ended slider, so that you can find house prices within a certain range, within a certain transit time from the center of town. There are additional static images comparing bike time vs subway time. Flash work by the interactive-mapping folks at Stamen Design. Smart! [via Jason Kottke, via Brady Forrest]

Followup: Stamen also offers a crime map for Oakland... but are being blocked by Oakland City Government from displaying public data! That's just sick, particularly considering how Ron Dellums has been posturing lately.... :(

Thanks for links!
We've had productive conversations with Oakland's IT people recently, hopefully the whole thing will be opened back up for us very soon.

Oakland IT opened up a short time ago, and for the past week we've regained a regular stream of data. Hurrah!
