Nice one, actually all Voronoi diagrams are cool. If only there was a webpage/software where someone could click/select points on a map (or even better enter coordinates) and a user Voronoi diagram would be created ;-)

Voronoi diagrams of Penrose tilings are extra cool. There are six at the bottom of this page: http://www.josleys.com/show_gallery.php?galid=284 http://www.josleys.com/show_gallery.php?galid=284 I'd love to see it as real tiles. The nicest looking might be pearly-white granite or quartzite, with pink granite for the pentagons. Adding grey into the mix, I think a floor could be done without same-color adjacent tiles. I wonder where I could buy this.

  Yes, thank you. Looks nice, clean is operational and configurable and with ~80% of the functionality I had in mind. I'm sure that with a few tweaks and a map as background/layer it would be perfect. Strange that there isn't something like this around, would be useful for finding the nearest Starbucks, Pizza Hut, drugstore, whatever... If only I/we could have some extra time for all those side projects :-(
