www.wefeelfine.org

An applet that visualizes current global emotions by scanning blog entries and tweets for occurrences of "I feel..." and "I am feeling...", then displays then in a dynamic cloud that can be filtered by a variety of criteria.

N.B. Doesn't seem to like running in a browser with the next-generation plugin features enabled - I had to switch them off for it to run successfully.

JPL Small Body browser

This applet shows 3D orbit visualization of planets and small bodies (asteroids). This is quite interesting in itself, but especially today, as Asteroid 2009 BD is passing relatively close to the Earth today.
