Jacob sent me a link to a page of fantastic Japanese subway posters. I took a look expecting subway maps, which I have had an abiding interest in ever since shortly after I read the Visual Display of Quantitative Information and started thinking about information design. The posters were not really information design, but quite entertaining nonetheless.
Thinking about subway maps brings me back to the heady days of 2003 and a business plan for the Museum of Information Design, written out on a stack of Post-Its. To discovering Ben Fry's website, and then learning that we had a bunch of friends in common. To seeing Manhattan take a little tour around the country. To a plan to collect digital camera manuals and write a paper on the evolution of digital camera interfaces through the 1990s as Canon and Kodak and Nikon (lots of 'k' sounds in among the camera manufacturers, almost as if they are trying to evoke a certain clicking noise...) figure out how a digital camera is not like a film camera. Yay information design.
