Adding graphs to the Chicago Crash Browser

Pull request #3 (of, hopefully, 5) is to add graphs to the Chicago Crash Browser.

I’m a fan of data visualizations, but I haven’t been able to work with that during my day
job. So this will do. :-)

I utilized Highcharts, and after a few hours of wrestling with JavaScript

30 Days of Hustle: Pull Request

Pull request #2 is for the Chicago Crash Browser project.

It’s housecleaning, but touches on some topics I wanted to dig into later…
* Bower
* Other package management utilities, and the problems Bower avoids
* What a nice build process would look like for the Chicago Crash Browser project
* Dude, jQuery is awesome

This pull request starts to do some cleanup on the main logic, keeps the size of the main index.php down, and opens the door to future functionality being added with minimal hassle.
