I like this. It fills like a very webby way to explore a museum collection. Use any axis you like.
This is a sketch made quickly to explore what it means to navigate a museum catalogue made of over two million records. It’s about skipping around quickly, browsing the metadata as if you were wandering around the museum itself in Bloomsbury, or better yet, fossicking about unattended in the archives.

I spent the day in London. As my train arrived back in Brighton, it was enveloped in a chilly fog. The whole town was bedecked in an eerie seaside mist—not an uncommon Brighton phenomenon.
Fortunately the fog cleared by the time the ISS made its way across the sky this evening. It was a beautiful sight.
I was hoping to also look for a Dragon capsule on its resupply mission shortly afterwards. Alas, the launch was scrubbed. I got lucky with the weather; SpaceX, not so much.
Perhaps tomorrow will bring better fortune. I’ll be looking to the sky.
Brad points out the importance of supporting—which is not the same as optimising for—the non-shiny devices out there.
I really like using the Kindle’s browser as a good baseline for checking that information is available and readable.
I like this declarative approach to associating JavaScript behaviours with HTML elements.
Spoke too soon. :-(
That was a beautiful ISS flyover!
And now I know which trajectory to watch for the Dragon capsule in 20 minutes.
T minus 5 minutes to ISS over Brighton.
T minus 13 minutes to SpaceX CRS-6 launch: http://www.spacex.com/webcast/
