Well with hosting two track meets and a very hectic time of the school year I didn't get as much done on my project this week as I would have liked. I have all the written information into the google sheet template for the long version of the project. I also have all the videos and images I would like to use, however I haven't got them linked on the template. I also have to go through and format the text with italics and bold faced print at some point. I'm currently going to be moving all the images to flickr and then posting them and the video URLs on the google sheet. If I can get that accomplished this week I'll be in good shape and can focus on the visualization of MLK speeches in the following two weeks.
I'm a bit worried about the overall appearance of the timeline. I've spent the whole time so far focusing on the content, but I'm afraid that once I've amassed all of this, when I upload it it will not look too ascetically pleasing. I'm worried about the size of images and videos, too much text and other minor details like that. If those do present issues I'm not exactly sure how I'll be able to combat that problem. If that does look terrible, I do have latitude and longitude coordinates for each event. It could come back to some sort of a map project if that is the case. We'll see, its good to remember this is a process and not to focus on the end result so I'll just keep plugging away.

Well, you have time. And you have collaboration time with the CS students. Perhaps they will have input re the aesthetics of the project.
