BLOGGING FOR THE DISSIDENT IN ALL OF USA new site was designed, built and launched within two days for Jason Thomas Wright. The site, JasonThomasWright.com was done in a matter of a few hours of coding and is centered on the “social web” to include references/links to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Picasa, Flickr and the Blog.
So take a quick break and head over to JasonThomasWright.com and say hello!
I am finally ready to release what I alluded to in a previous post. While it’s not the most elegant or refined of web applications it is my own little creation. I’m pretty proud of it in the sense I had to learn JavaScript, a little AJAX and the API for Google Maps (the API itself is located here). So, withouth further ado:
So, what the heck is it? NYC Restaurant Map is a “mashup” of data I accumulated while working in Manhattan for 10 weeks earlier this year and Google Maps. The restaurants on the map are representative of either places I had the luxury of eating at or were recemmendations of places I wanted to try but never got the chance. A “mashup” is an application that adds features or data to Google’s map interface. Whether the “mashups” display store locations, gasoline prices, or time and weather on a map, ultimately, it’s the data that makes these applications interesting.
For some more “mashups” please visit Google Maps Mania. They have an extensive listing of applications. However, the following have been of most interest to me:
Ultimately, I would like to put together the same type of map for Chicago. Please feel free to send recommendations. As always, feedback is most welcome.

Welcome to Dissident Design! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
The site is almost ready to go live but I wanted to get it out there for a little debugging. I could try and debug on the local server but I just don’t feel 100% comfortable doing that. If you notice any problems or issues please send me an email: jwright@dissidentdesign.com.
The Rachel & Jason Blog has been updated.
