   I've been busy over the last couple months and so I haven't posted 
very much in that time, but a couple of new things have happened.

1) The visualization site has a new look:

2) A new example. A couple years ago, Ed Pegg wrote an article about 
modelling pandemic outbreaks using Mathematica.  He used a CA based 
algorithm heavily influenced by population density and airport travel. I 
created an animated version of one of these outbreaks that assumes the 
outbreak starts near Dallas and spreads from there.

Ed has a much more detailed decription of the model and where it can be 
improved here:

*Note* As always, I am always looking to add more examples of the use of 
graphics and visualization to my site.  Feel free to send them my way 
and I'll give you credit.  If you are interested, I can even provide 
some tips on things you can do to make your graphics look a bit prettier 
before posting them.
