Chances are, if you’re a designer or developer, you run across design sites where people tout their skills using a fun graph. Sometimes they’re simply rendered in static HTML, but the cool ones are animated using Javascript. (Yes, the animated ones are the ‘cool’ ones.)
the FACE OF Operation Rainbow This is why we do this. The story behind this little boy is what makes us stop for a second and hold our breath. His name is Roberto, and in the above image he’d been waiting in line in the hospital with his mother and father for 7 hours. With…

This is the 4th report in a series of daily blogs. The 3rd report is here. I want to tell you stories. These are the things that energize us. These things move us to tears. Erick Luis was at home on the day of the earthquake. When the shock hit Port Au Prince, his house…
This is the 3rd report in a series of daily blogs. The 2nd report is here. Like all days, today was both promising and difficult. As well as surprising: as I draft this, we just felt another earthquake. Today a few of us flew by helicopter to Port Au Prince to deliver supplies to an…
