ex machina

back in september when i was playing around with the topic mapping software touchgraph , i had plans. big plans.

i was going to try to begin storing metadata about posts indexed by the blogger post ID [ made easier by the emergence of the blogger api ], so i could do all kinds of fancy, schmancy visualization of the relationships between posts. well, like a lot of my big ideas, it never made it past the lame prototype that i threw together.

well, chris langreiter mocks my procrastination with his excellent vanilla-vista :

" vanilla-vista is the umbrella term for quite a few ideas regarding visualizing the space and its (link) structure. In its first incarnation, it's basically TouchGraph plus a few extensions."

interesting stuff with a lot of potential - here's the applet .

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
