the wired star wars timeline is being used as a drawing tool by graffiti folks. wired magazine has shut down a lot of what was put up, but an interesting array of comments appears on rollover of the timeline points (here used to draw a smiley face and jaba the hut).
officevsoffice just finished this interactive timeline of star wars schwag for wired magazine. The accompanying article about lucas film copyright enforcer leeland chee is a pretty interesting read about how the empire keeps tabs on its product. the timeline widget we built, designed by erik van der molen from ovo and holl liou from wired is made to be updated and reconfigured using JSON data, so look for its quick implementation in future wired pubs.
Samira Selod and I recently completed a small piece of the AMA’s important apology regarding and historical study of the mistreatment of African Americans in organized medicine over the last 150+ years. While the article itself is available only to journal subscribers, you can view the timeline (XML fed Actionscript 3 project) at the link below:
