Good example of the overview, filter, details on demand principle.

Photographs of women in Iran — who still face censure for insufficiently modest dress — through their hijabs.

Good old-fashioned photo gallery. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Might be the first Venn diagram I really liked. (except for the xkcd ones, I guess..)

What’s next for the Catholic Church?

The surprise announcement that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning sets the stage for the Vatican to elect a new pope by mid-March, and opens up the possibility that the papacy could be filled by a non-European for the first time in the modern era.

Wow. The way a panorama should be done. Really love the use of audio to make background sounds to try & put you up in the tower.

Andy Warner has a brilliant history of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood up at Slate. It’s definitely worth a read.

Bit old now, but I do seem to love animated GIFs. MTA recovery GIF. via WNYC's datanews:

Since Sandy left town, we’ve been downloading MTA subway-recovery maps to feed WNYC’s Changing Trains map. Our Steve Melendez put them together in a time-lapse GIF. Click through to the full-size image.

While the whole nation votes, the Obama and Romney campaigns are concentrating on specific states during the presidential race. The campaigns have mostly put up ads in battleground states (think Ohio or Florida). They also happen to be the places where the candidates travel the most. However, the campaigns are raising money elsewhere (think California or New York). Use the map below to explore the money game and the strategy behind this election.

CNN & Google partnered to create this HTML5 map of the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. Polling, travel & finance - lots of data to explore here & I like the way you can create snapshots of side-by-side comparisons. Not sure why the fonts are all so small though...

One of our most recognizable Olympics graphics is probably “One Race, every Medalist Ever,” a 3D rendering and video that imagines what a race of every athlete ever to medal in the men’s 100-meter sprint might look like.

Nice, "How we did it" on one of the most talked about olympic interactives this year. Well worth the read.
