I've never seen interactive 3D graphics like this on the web.

Always good to have a starting point for a new icon. I usually use google image search to get me going, but the above specialized search engine could be useful as well.

National Popular Vote

link: National Popular Vote — Electoral college reform by direct election of the President

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee a majority of the Electoral College to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bill would reform the Electoral College so that the electoral vote in the Electoral College reflects the choice of the nation’s voters for President of the United States.

Wouldn’t it be nice to ditch this electoral system that makes a few (stupid) states decide who wins? And not by splitting the electoral votes of California, that works in Maine which just has 2, but doesn’t work elsewhere unless you get all the other big states to do it.

Not generally a fan of modern art, abhor flash websites (I can’t link you to what I want to dammit), but this guy’s use of color and shape to create motion is worth braving both. When it finally loads click on Recent Works or Runaway SuperModules.
