The jQuery mapbox() plugin is for creating relatively small scale, zoomable, draggable maps with multiple layers of content. This framework could be applied to games, development plans, or any layout that could benefit from being able to zoom in and pan to get a better view. - Bernie Dodge

When it comes to form validation, it’s hard to have a versatile solution that works with every form. Figuring out how to display errors is not a simple task. This is something I tried to remedy with this script. When an error needs to be displayed, the script creates a div and positions it in the top right corner of the input. This way you don’t have to worry about your HTML form structure. The rounded corner and shadow are done with CSS3 and degrade well in non compliant browsers. There is no images needed. - Bernie Dodge

The five minute clip - which he then uploaded to YouTube - shows an invasion of Montevideo by giant robots and had special effects which could rival many big budget movies. - Bernie Dodge

Our goal for the project was to develop a virtual reconstruction of a historical landscape using GIS data and 3D models that could be used as a platform for exploring that landscape. To begin the project, we assembled the data necessary to generate building footprints, ground surface, and vegetation/street furniture for downtown Morgantown c.1900. Morgantown, West Virginia, was a small regional city on the Monongahela River that was experiencing rapid urban growth in the early 1900s due to the expanding coal industry, lead glass manufacture, the coming of the railroad, and related commercial activities. These growing industries spurred a building boom in the downtown area of Morgantown. In more recent years, many of these structures have been lost as the city has undergone urban regeneration. - Bernie Dodge

Part of the process of teaching involves helping students to “see” in a myriad different ways. Most often, I want to students to “see” the text in a more than superficial manner and piece together relationships between different parts of the text, between similar texts, and between texts and the larger narrative or between the text and, as Richard Nixon was fond of saying, “the big picture.” citations or references as sidenotes. Many times I have wished to sit with them as they read and say, “Slow down here. Did you see that? What’s important about what you just read and a previous passage? Or, how does this fit in (or not) with the monograph that you read last week or the one that you read last year?” - Bernie Dodge
