Yeah, that data was a pleasant discovery. I've been contemplating implementing [this college football ranking system](http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0505169), but I would want a easily-parsable, frequently-updated source of score data before doing so. It's hard to tell now since the college football season is over, but it seem's like Warren Repole's data will fit the bill.

Warren Repole posts [some college football and NFL data that seems to be updated regularly](http://www.repole.com/sun4cast/data.html). Soren Sorensen has [data for college basketball, college football, the NBA, and the NFL](http://www.phys.utk.edu/sorensen/cfr/cfr/SportsRanking.html), but quite a few of the links are broken and quite a bit of the data does not seem to have been updated in a while.

Yes I know it can run up in the $100,000+ range. I wrote a scraper a couple of years ago that gave me daily results of most of the World's professional soccer matches from 2000 to the given day. It worked until this summer. So I know it is possible that someone else might be doing something similar..

I'm not sure if they have it, but probably the first place to look is the US Census Bureau's [TIGER/Line](http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/) shape files. If they don't have the specific data, it contains the building blocks: if you know that a particular neighborhood / area is bounded by a set of streets, you will be able to build this from the shape files.

extract the "births" section from every date on wikipedia (eg [16 December](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_December)). The more difficult part is extracting relevant features from the people. Sentiment analysis on the page for each person? Simple data like "{person_name} was a {job_title}" should be easy to extract, then you should be able to show a uniform distribution of job titles across different birthdays (or maybe you'll prove that all doctors were born in April, who knows!)

The two things that struck me that were mentioned in the CNN review that the Atlas helped bring to light: * There are better records of African slave arrivals than of European immigrants. Sadly, it's as the review states it: "The African slave trade reduced people to commodities, but commodities generated profits, and where there were profits there was generally good record-keeping." * African slaves were a universal commodity, traded routinely out of pretty much any shipping port in the "early modern Atlantic world." This wasn't something that the creeps in particular seedy ports engaged in, but was routine, ubiquitous even. In no way do I mean to trivialize it. Rather, I find it all the more startling that this was viewed with brazen indifference. There are times we all talk about how some things never change. Again, institutional racism, genocide and human trafficking are very much alive and well. At the same time, I think we need to understand the ways the world has progressed. Alright, blah blah blah enjoy mining the data :)

This site is the source site for a recently-released book _*New Revelations About Slaves and Slave Trade*_ ([CNN review](http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/01/05/eltis.richardson.slave.trade/index.html?hpt=C2)). This data collection is not new, although they have been combing through it and improving it year-by-year. In addition, I'm suspecting there are others like me that weren't aware this data had been so nicely gathered together, packaged up for download, AND not burdened with some ridiculous license. (I think a non-commercial license on the data they crunched is only fair, and they're appropriately releasing the raw data without restrictions, even though it clearly took some folks a lot of time and effort to validate and organize this information.) The only slight challenge for me is that while a 99-variable subset is provided in CSV format, the full 276-column version is only available in SPSS format. (That may be just fine for some of you, but I'm looking to play with this in Postgres, and unless Google finds me a better route, it looks like I need to use R as an intermediary to get this from SPSS to Postgres. Any tips are appreciated. (EDIT: fixed caps on book title. Alien Blue doesn't show italics and it's bugging me :)

I think playerfilter.com is the best I've found so far, although maybe not the easiest it is free. Would be nice if pro football reference would update their site. Have you found another source of 2009 player data that's easily downloadable?

Any chance to get this including final upvotes/downvotes? Would be interesting to see if you could predict how various factors will affect that.

I'd love for something to happen to this. I'd do it myself, but I need a good way to scrape the tables from pdf into something more immediately useful, and I also need to figure out what a good way to visualize this would be.

chromaticburst over in /r/programming suggested you guys might be interested in this, so here we go. I created [The Right Tool](http://therighttool.hammerprinciple.com/) to gather data on programming lagnuages by getting people to rank the languages they know by how well a statement applies to them. I've gathered a fair bit of data so far: there are about 68k entries in this data dump, and it's generated nightly (actually this one was generated just now to fix a bug, but it will be generated nightly). I'd be interested to see what people do with it.

[Wordnet](http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/)? Edit: to clarify... the "lexicographer files" (which are separated by noun, verb, etc.) are part of the source download for the Grinder package. See: [http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/tools/grind/](http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/tools/grind/)

Wikipedia has entries on lots of surnames, too. Just check some of the categories, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Surnames](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Surnames).

You can find a database with popularity by nation and gender data there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/818203/does-anyone-know-of-a-good-library-for-mapping-a-persons-name-to-his-or-her-sex/818283#818283 The only thing is that it is per first name and not per surname.

The US census website has about ~151K common last names: http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/2000surnames/index.html Other countries might offer similar datasets.

Were you able to find it with the correct title metachor provided? I'm pretty sure Safari Books has almost all O'Reilly books. If you still couldn't find it, consider asking your friendly local librarian! Ask for the "Computing content expert" if your school is big enough to have someone like that. They're a great person to have a 20 minute chat with, they can help you understand just how many resources universities have that are helpful to you.

Have you looked at [Many Eyes](http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/)? You can play around with the data sets they have available using their tools. I'd recommend looking at Processing. I've done quite a lot of data viz stuff. gnuplot is great for getting graphs happening quickly. With processing you can't quite just throw data at it the same way but it is friendly enough to get stuff happening, and powerful enough to do whatever you want (you get the entirety of java to work with). If you particularly want to use python, have a look at Chart Director. It's a commercial library and has bindings for many languages. It's very good for doing several types of graphs, and flexible enough that you can use what you're given to come up with new things.
