Ogilvy is creating “visual notes” of panel sessions at SXSW Interactive. I especially like the two notes Ogilvy created for “Public Transit Data, APIs and City Governments” and “Social Media Data Visualization: Mapping the World’s Conversations”. The Publishers Weekly blog has more background on the project here.

In Toronto, the use of the city’s open data platform has already led to the creation of a few good projects, including Google Transit for the Greater Toronto Area and mobile apps for the TTC.

This is just awesome. Great presentation design, fantastic delivery of presentation (by a ten year old boy), and a truly interesting topic (3D printers). Needless to say, now I want one too. Came across the MakerBot in a New York Times article.
