GCensus

JD has created a cool little app called GCensus based on the U.S. Census data and Google Maps:
The map tool that is located on the home page of this site is a combination of technologies. The map and all of the images belong to Google and come from maps.google.com. The data is extracted from the 2000 United States Census and can be downloaded from www.census.gov.
JD recently completed his Masters program at The University of Mississippi where one of the projects was processing large quantities of data and Google had just released its map technology. The two were a perfect match and GCensus is the result.
