Video - The Hans Rosling project

About a year ago, I read a profile about Hans Rosling in the Economist magazine. Apparently I had been living under a rock, as I had never seen his data visualizations before. Pretty impressive:

Rosling made sure all his information was put up publically on gapminder.org. I resolved to use this data set to come up with some nifty visualizations, but never quite got around to this project - until now.
