It's been a week of coming across lots of maps; not just the standard OS type, but using graphical displays of geospatial information.
First off we have the Olympic medal map which, when compared to GDP per capita, sadly gives a very strong relationship.
Another - very unscientific - correlation I spotted this week was between obesity levels and happiness. I saw the happiness map first (annoyingly I can now only find the article not the map) followed swiftly by the obesity map. Perhaps it's just me but at first glance could there be a link between being happy and being fat?
And wish I'd been passing Baltimore earlier this year to see this exhibition.
