Hi all, the very cool interactive racial dot map from the 2010 census is being taken offline on December 31. I think it's really fascinating to browse, and unfortunately they won't…

I'm tempted to sneer at iPods too, but it's actually a pretty good choice for the gym. If you're worried about your $800 iPhone getting crushed, an iPod touch will record your lift…
