Vivaldi's “Winter,” visualized in a fascinating way, so that the auditory experience is even more intense; one can literally “see” the music, so to speak

THIS WEBSITE LETS YOU SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT OF ANY PLANE FLYING OVER YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

no download. no app. no account.

you open the tab and you are in the sky.

it's called Stowaway. https://t.co/WFCxwmTfQi.

it finds your location. pulls every plane and satellite passing over you right now. click one. hit "Stow away" and you are in the window seat. real terrain. real weather. real light for this exact minute.

the guy who made it, jheising, said on Hacker News he built it because as a kid he would watch planes cross the evening sky and try to imagine what the world looked like from up there. Stowaway is that, without the airport.

441 points on Hacker News. people are not bookmarking it. they are flying in it.

just a website that lets a normal person see Earth from a stranger's window seat for a few minutes.

we built the internet and somehow one of the best things on it right now is still:

open tab.
sit in a stranger's plane.
watch the sunset from 35,000 feet.

This is a better way to visualize Columbus’ voyages than the traditional way (that shows him traveling through a modern map)..

It looks a lot crazier and more daring when you see it as a trip into the unknown.

I find myself thinking often about Austria. I also made a ski resort map (second image), not ALL resorts though.

5,000 years of human history: compressed into a single chart. Suddenly, your own lifetime looks very, very small. Which event on this timeline would you most want to travel back and witness?
