    I built Globe of History — an interactive 3D visualization of 6,000 years of human events, mapped onto the Earth’s surface. It includes 5,000+ data points covering wars, inventions, assassinations, natural disasters, and philosophers — spanning 4000 BCE → 2025 CE. The main goal was to build a visual entry point into history — not a database, but a way to instantly sense density and continuity over time.

    I built Chronoscope, a project to explore the world through time. I've been wanting to do this for a while, after being inspired by Ollie Bye's "History of the World" video several years ago. I'm not the first person to have done this - resources like OpenHistoricalMaps are amazing. But, I noticed there were a few disparate datasets / academic databases online, so I combined them together as best as I could (I've linked all sources in the app).

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
