  ChronoZoom is a timeline for all of history. It covers all of time, from the Cosmos, Earth, Life and Humanity.

  ChronoZoom started as my class project in 2009 at UC Berkeley, and has grown to a full scale project supported by Microsoft Research and Moscow State University in Russia.

  It is written completely in HTML5 making extensive use of the Canvas tag.
  I had the good fortune of working with Professor Walter Alvarez on this project who is most widely known for his theory that dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid impact.

  We’ve just released it as a beta, this is an open source project (Apache 2.0) as well:

  First ever “Big Sweep” cup held at UC Berkeley’s Memorial Glade. Berkeley won! The snitch is represented by a person wearing yellow running around the field. First “seeker” to catch it ends the game. All players must use one hand only to hold the ball. Broomstick must be kept between the legs at all times. Hit by a “bludger” (cherry ball) results in dropping the quaffle (soccer ball). Part of: http://www.internationalquidditch.org/
