Space Explorer by Bill Robinson, who also has a blog and even more awesome flimflammery for sale

I’m excited to see “A History of the Sky: A dynamic time-lapse visualization of the sky for an entire year” at the SF Exploratorium. Two things I love: clouds and time lapse!

Watch it in fullscreen HD!

The hardest I have laughed in a long, long time
“Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide.”
“It’s like there’s a gap. For the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good, okay … it’s not that great. It’s really not that great. It’s … it’s trying to be good, it has some ambition to be good, but it’s not quite that good. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game — your taste is still killer.”
Watch this, okay? Especially you creative types. It’s important.
This is possibly even cuter than an axolotl
