Very nifty Java applet—ZIP code decoder

[pne]

Seen on jayo:

ZIP code decoder—enter a ZIP code digit by digit, and watch the lights go out.

Ooh, that's spiffy! :-)

Would love to watch all the lights go out in america (permanently? :)).
Unfortunately, I don't know any of their zip codes apart from 90210..

:S

Hee, I only know 90210 and 84106 (which is Salt Lake City, UT) / 84604 (Provo, UT).

Wonder if he can make one for Canuckistani postal codes?

I can well imagine so, if he has the appropriate data (mapping of postal codes to cities, map with dots of light)—they're probably harder to obtain than it is to program the applet now that he's done that already once.
