Random find today for the geographically inclined:
http://finder.geocommons.com/
Library of spatial data, and the ability to convert it all to and from
Shapefile, KML and CSV.
They also produce http://maker.geocommons.com/, a quick way to build
visually appealing maps with all that data. Haven't experimented with it
much yet to know the limitations/features
Sidenote: Anyone using QGIS? How intimidating is installing all the
necessary frameworks if you don't already have them?
Thanks,
