This is a really random post to showcase this cool, open-source JavaScript widget I found where you can mark the states you visited. I’m defining “visited” very loosely here to include states I’ve driven through and layovers. Ideally I’d like to mark these a different color, but until I learn how to do that, we’ll count them all as “visited.” 😁


The real reason for this post is that I recently came across some really cool, interactive learning modules (EconGraphs, Molecular Workbench, etc.), and between those and the map you see above, I realized that if I want to be serious about designing interactive learning modules, I had better learn JavaScript. So this post is just to state my goal in writing, in the hopes of increasing the chance that it will actually be achieved.
