I was looking for JavaScript chart libraries yesterday for a project I’m considering and discovered Google Charts. The API, as you’d expect, is fantastic. As is the documentation. I whipped up this little map showing where I’ve been in the United States. The longer the darker (states not visited are white).

Next I’m going to develop a chart that will be generated from a MySQL database to show the history of gas prices per gallon that I’ve paid. It should be fun.

The URL for the map above, in case you’re interested:
