Work Highlights
Someone once asked me for three pieces of work. The question was brilliant in simplicity.
Highlight…
- a piece of work that pertains to your career.
- a piece of work that highlights you personally.
- a piece of work of which you are particularly proud.
Planet-ock
Because I’m obsessed with astronomy and astronomical data visualizations, I thought it would be fun to build some sort of celestial clock. Using the library suncalc.js, we can get not only sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset but also the altitude and azimuth of those objects. Planet-ock shows the current azimuth (direction) in the sky that the Sun and Moon are. This concept is in-line with another site/app that I’ve been trying to build called LODClock (length of day clock) that shows the incremental changes in day length as the seasons progress.
Planet-ock features position in sky of Sun and Moon, position in sky of other planets (nice to have), the position of the sunrise, and the position of the sunset.
Watch this space for more improvements.
