Like Threadless for sneakers, Ryz lets you judge user-submitted, 3D-rendered shoe designs, then slaps the winning art on high-quality Converse-esque hi-tops. Hit the site now to buy past winners, e.g., the powerline silhouette "Cables", the WWII pinup gal/nose art-inspired "Warhawk", and the technicolor and static-deco'd "Kicking Television", the designer's ode to 70s TV signoff color bars that "usually occurred after a back-to-back episode of Love Connection".

This trippily-animated map displays routes and factoids on history's greatest journeys, including NYC-entrants like Kerouac's NY/Denver/SF/Mexico On the Road, Lindbergh's first-ever NY-to-Paris flight, and Tom Wolfe's coverage of Ken Kesey's SF-to-NY road trip (The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test -- this map has some bad brown lines going around).

This map is rad. Check it out at GoodMagazine.com

This feature-laden Gmap lets you build walking tours/workouts by auto-plotting the distance and elevation between multiple points, plus provides markers for along-the-way amenities like water fountains, restaurants, and bathrooms. Input your physical deets (height, weight, etc) plus time taken on the route, and it'll calc up your calories burned -- or would've burned, if you weren't so busy stopping at water fountains, restaurants, and bathrooms.
