I drew an elephant

Posted this on my Tumblr originally. It has been down a lot lately, so I thought I would post it here.

Showcase Lane

I work with Brad Robinson and have been very impressed with his previous projects, so you can read this post with that in mind.

I have watched over recent months as his latest web project has taken shape. It looks like it is getting close to launch and I am pretty excited about seeing it up and running. The premise for Showcase Lane is a place to find (and remember) beautifully designed websites. We have places like Dribbble or Forrst where we can find and discuss awesome designs progress, but nowhere to see the finished product.

From what I have seen, social features (like voting and discusion) presented with a clean, elegant interface will give web developers a place show off their stuff and to find inspiration for their next project. I think the invite only, design oriented community will surface only the most beautiful content on the web, this site for instance (which is a collection of programmer art, legacy projects and mutilated templates) is not a good example of what you will find there. ;)

If you are a web developer with some serious design chops, reserve your spot by leaving your email on the landing page.

Patrick O'Brian Mapping Project Sponsorship

I am very happy to announce that Art Marine has decided to sponsor the Patrick O'Brian Mapping Project. I have spent the last five years working on my site and their help is very much appreciated.

If you are a fan of Patrick O'Brian or the Napoleonic age of sail, you should go and check out some of their amazing prints, Remarques and oil paintings.

WW1 Daily on the iPhone

WW1 Daily answers two fundamental questions:

• What happened today in the First World War?
• Where did it happen? Show me a map!

Flip through daily cards showing important events of the first 'total war'. World War One affected the entire globe for it's duration and arguably for the century that followed.

Each card shows the date, a succinct description and a zoomable map for the event. You can flip the card over to read the Wikipedia article describing the event.

You can sort your deck of events using two mechanisms:

• Sort by day and month for a this day in history view.
• Select a start date and then sort by day, month and year for a true chronological sequence of events from that date onwards.

The data for WW1 Daily comes from the World War One Timeline Project. This is a community contributed project to collect time and place data for the war. You can come to the site to browse the timeline or even log in and contribute new data.

The Timeline Project currently indexes almost 300 hundred data points with new entries being added daily. If a significant event isn't in the database yet, it soon will be.

Blu's grandkids

I went and saw Rio on the weekend. I enjoyed it, but I worry about Blu's grandkids. I don't think they will be able to fly either.
