Douwe Osinga
Douwe Osinga is a programmer with tons of interesting projects on his site, mostly related to artificial life or tricks with the Google API.
Just one example is his "Poetry in Translation" tool which translates sentences from English and back again, with amusing results.
Give it a try below:
He also has Land Geist, "a combination of Googles Zeit Geist, Google Mind Share and Visited Countries. For keywords like 'war', 'poverty', 'party', this project shows which country (names) have the highest relative scores (google shares)."
and, Google News Map, which "shows a map of the World with on top of it projected the latest headlines according to Google News, pointing with their upper left corner to the country where it refers to."
and lots of other little toys
