*UPDATE May 10th: Here's a video interview that I did this morning for MSNBC : http://on.msnbc.com/juqWHz ---------- I shot this timelapse montage from late 2010 through early 2011. One year in the making.

This is one of the most interesting maps I have seen for a while! This map tells a wonderful story of how globalized our economy and our population have become. As you view this map, consider the following questions:
Notice how many countries are strictly consumers of Starbucks and McDonald's products and not producers of some component of their product. Is this coincidental or is there a cultural and economic divide?
As McDonald's continues to expand its markets, what challenges do they face as a corporation? Does McDonald's have the potential, due to its economic prowess, to influcence policy in some of these emerging markets?

Census data showing population growth and shifts in the United States since 1990.
Non-Hispanic whites make up a dwindling share of the nation’s population, as their numbers drop in the Northeast and Midwest and grow slowly in the South and West. A while back we looked at the changing demographics of black America, now it's time to look at the changes in white America. Why is this happening? What economic, cultural, demographic and political factors contribute to this pattern? What push factors and pull factors are at work? Also, look at the interactive graphic, with mappable census data from the last 30 years, aggregated at the county level, or even block level.
