OK, I know I was a child of the sixties, and forty years ago I got to stay up late to witness the Eagle landing, so a website dedicated to the Apollo 11 mission to the moon is bound to be of serious interest to me. That said, this thoroughly comprehensive site is jam packed with animations, vi... read more

I always have some issues with incorporating Google maps into a heavily branded website. We all know that colour is the most recognisable and important element of any brand, or it could be argued, wayfinding scheme. Basically, here are maps that can be customised, allowing you to change t... read more

This post is somewhat late, I know, as the UK edition of Wired magazine is already into its second issue. So, I bought this first issue, remembering the relatively short-lived attempt to launch a dedicated UK edition a decade or so ago, and wondered how this version might be better than that a... read more

Latest version of the web trend map. It makes for interesting viewing. You'll have to follow the link to see it in detail. But if you're very very quick you still have chance to offer your comments before it's published. read more

WikipediaVision is an (almost) real-time visualization of Wikipedia edits and what part of the world they come from. It's kind of useless, but compelling viewing for all that. read more

So TfL launch a bunch of useful looking travel tools, some of which are intended for downloading to use on mobile phones. The icons look suspiciously like iPhone buttons, but I can't see iPhone in the list of compliant phones. Shame on you TfL. See the list: www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/m... read more
