winning BART widget

Check out my fabulous London Underground inspired BART map!

A couple of years ago I helped out a guy make a map for an Apple widget he was making. The fun project really hit a sweet spot for me because it involved design as well as map making. A few weeks ago I received an email from the author informing me that his widget had won an Apple Design Award in the Dashboard category!

It was very cool to be a part of something fun that actually got some well deserved recognition (it actually is a very cool widget), and if you live in the Bay Area, take BART, and own a mac, I would recommend that you check out Bret Victor's BART Widget and revel in all its well designed utilitarian glory :)
