This site is pretty cool. It's a nice illustration of what's possible in this digital age of information design. It was conceived of and designed by Jonathan Harris (bio). Along with this project, he's produced many others in the same vein. He received his education from Princeton University in Computer Science. He's also spoken at TED, the annual Technology, Entertainment, and Design seminars, which is how I found out about him. On TED.org you can view previous annual conferences in the form of individual talks.
I highly recommend viewing some of the speakers. It's very fascinating, often funny, but most of all inspirational.
I was having trouble loading the java applet for the "We Feel Fine" site on another computer at Pratt. Just in case someone else encounters that same problem, another of his projects—wordcount—is also conceptually interesting.
