Check out Quince a new ux pattern explorer by Infragistics.
There are no good tools that make these patterns usable, and there isn’t much community to speak of around them. We at Infragistics thought that we could help and fill the gap – helping to make UX design patterns more findable, more discoverable, more usable, and, we hope, more communal and social.
Glimpse.com has a nice feature that visualizes the available product distribution in a price range to refine the search. When adjusting the slider, a pop-up immediately indicates an estimated number of remaining products for the refined price range. (See Example)
Windows 7 now visualizes progress right in the system tray even when the window is minimized. I like it!

Today i experienced an absolute showstopper even though I have been pretty satisfied with Windows Vista so far. For the past time as long as i remember the “Off” Button to the left of the “Lock” Button has been setting my Laptop to Standby.

Due to my recent interest in information visualization i have been reading hundreds of blog posts related to gathering data and representing it the “right way”. One big challenge when visualizing data is to actually find datasets that can be parsed. I found an interesting blog post on data as a public good that has some interesting points about public data sets.
You can find some interesting websites related to information visualization if you look at si649 tagged items on delicious. I am still looking for data set resources, but so far datamob.org seems to be a great place to start.
