I am a web developer based out of the beautiful rock that has formed Vancouver Island. I work for an amazing company that produces even better products. Check out Pixel Union to see what I'm talking about.
Fantasy Map: Victoria Integrated Transit Authority
Update: now with more routes in Fairfield!
Introduction: This is a fantasy/proposed transit network for Victoria, BC, Canada. I’ve been working on this off-and-on since the summer of 2011. It’s been a long process because I’ve tried to make this work not only as a nice looking graphic, but also as a maybe, somewhat, kinda plausible and functioning transit network. No destroying entire neighbourhoods and no monorails. However, with that in mind, I should mention I have absolutely no background in urban or transit planning. I have a few transit books and I follow @humantransit. So if you do this for a living and I’ve just made your head hurt, sorry.
"The ticket(s) you ordered for SASQUATCH! FESTIVAL have been printed! They will be shipped to you shortly via UPS."
Can’t wait.
Ridiculous Fishing
The new iOS gaming hotness is Ridiculous Fishing. In it, you try to get your hook as deep as you can, then catch as many fish as you can on the way up, and finally shoot as many of the fish as you can with a gun. There are also chainsaws and an in-game Twitter clone called Byrdr. This game is ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres and fun as hell. Highly recommended.
We are living in an unbelievable age. It is becoming easier and easier to create a publish your own game, it’s no wonder why big game studios are struggling.
See my template? It’s from Pixel Union. I love this design, but what I love just as much is the quality of service. The brains and talent behind Pixel Union is unbelievable. They have an abundance of gorgeous Tumblr designs for bloggers.
