An Editor for Visualising Time and Events. RT @BoraZ
“One of the most common forms of explaining complex issues, data and events on the web is the format of the chronology, also known as the timeline. Information often from multiple sources and points of view is aggregated to build context and represent what happened over time. In principal, this is a very usable format for examining a complex issue and can create a common understanding of a series of events.
The issue is how best to do that – what visual representations of time and events works best?”
Check out this post at The Explainer Project. It totally looks like an ideal platform to make something that depicts how the science philosophy has moved through the ages.

This is so awesome… spectrophotometry analysis of crayola crayons.
“Most people have forgotten the mysterious questions that a box of crayons presents to a kid such as: what am I supposed to do with this useless white crayon? why is the yellow crayon so dark and greenish, but draws such a pure, light yellow? is it just my eyes, or are the paper wrappers on the blue, indigo, and cerulean crayons the exact same color?”
