boats in the SFBay

This website was brought to my attention today and it really blew me away. Many of the bigger ships are now equipped with a tracking system known as AIS which integrates a special packet radio protocol with a GPS. Someone used a ground based receiver in Berkeley and some computer savvy to put together the above linked page which agives you a real-time and time-lapsed view of boats in the SF bay.
