It was kinda scary. It might be fun to play around with an open source software or plugin that lets you create an interactive timeline. I’ve seen a few of these in the NYTimes but haven’t been able to find any easy-to-use open source plugins or software that lets you quickly create a timeline. Perhaps someone in the class knows of such a tool. Anyway, thanks for filling me in on the details of what happened!
