I know, right? Damian is always way ahead in using new ways of visualizing historical information. He has a new article on this in Keith Harris's journal. I have not read it yet, but I'll subscribe next week and let you know what he says.

Thanks for sharing it Pat I appreciate it! They are great fun to do and I think a really good way of telling stories, particularly of individuals or based around themes. It is really easy to use too so I would encourage everyone to try it out!
