Survey: Which browsers do schools got?
I’ve decided on using D3 to create my tectonic application. Since D3 supports so-called “modern” browsers, which generally means everything except IE8 and below, I did a small survey where I asked IT departments at schools all around Norway (at least one school

Packery – a layout js library
A sneak peak of what looks like a great layout library: Packery – responsive and with a draggable grid.

Dr. Ronald Blakey, Professor Emeritus NAU Geology, has been working on creating paleogeographic (the geography of the ancient Earth) maps for nearly 20 years. His maps are made by plotting data and interpretations from the geologic literature and then painting

16 year olds on plate tectonics
I was so lucky I got to take a look at feedback from 72 16 year old students on the subject “internal forces” (which includes plate tectonics). My findings: Most of the students could argue why the subject is important,

Another setback
My geologist just gave me bad news: The data set I’ ve got showing plate boundaries and global coaslines doesn’t take the sea level rise into account (which means it’s not giving the correct picture of how the world used

From Processing to JavaScript
These days I’m all about the You Are Here interactive that I’m making, and I’ve decided to switch from Processing to JavaScript. I don’t know which library I’m using yet, but it will be either Kartograph or Polymaps. Polymaps might
