breaking wind down

Here’s a killer visualization: http://hint.fm/wind/ It’s a living graphic that provokes and rewards curiosity (zoom in and out, look at the eddies and whorls) as well as teaches. Really astonishing.

5 lines… display arbitrary XML trees on a web page… nice.   After fighting with so many others, a breath of fresh air. <link rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’ href=’xmltree.css’ /> <script src=’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.js’></script> <script src=’xmltree.js’></script> <script>$(function() { new XMLTree({fpath: ‘/ness.xml’, container: ‘#tree’, startCollapsed: true}); });</script> <div id=’tree’></div> Courtesy of  http://www.mitya.co.uk/scripts/XML-Tree—visualise-and-traverse-your-XML-186
