Indeed zipcodes are quite beautiful. Check this, Population Density by zipcode: http://www.uuorld.com/gallery?image=89

All I'm seeing is a beautiful "Java required" message.

It crashed my FF the first time around...

It's worth taking a look, though.

Ben Fry is one of the fathers of Processing.org, he's done a lot of great stuff with information visualisation. He's done a lot of stuff looking at the relationships inside DNA,genes, emails and code. All of which are combination between art and information.

Nice work, I have been reading Ben Fry work, great source of inspiration. I recommend Processing.org.

Lots of fun :) Reminds me of the time at a previous job when I had to incorporate distance measurement based on post codes (zipcodes, UK style). There wasn't a whole lot to do for long periods at this job (which is why I left it eventually) so I spent several days making pretty pictures from the postcode data. I was quite amused that the density of codes in London was such that I could see the Thames winding through the middle :)

I also spent a while trying to guess polygon data for the post districts from just the point data for each code. I found that quite hard at the time.
