that site's been incredibly cool for years (used to have the precursor blog linked to Stray Voltage back when I ran my own blog for a while)

Awesome!  Thanks for the link, Starfury. 



I really enjoyed most of those maps, but my favorite was probably the Google Auto-complete map.  The following states in particular gave me a chuckle: 

Minnesota is...better than Wisconsin.
South Carolina is...so gay. 
Montana is...for badasses. 
Georgia is...on my mind.
  [naturally!]
Tennessee is...nice, but it ain't Texas.
