Jack the Ripper Map

A cool site showing a Jack the Ripper map.

What I find especially interesting is that this map uses the Odyssey library, which is a story map template created by CartoDB.  Perhaps this is a nice equivalent to ESRI's story map application.

Evel Knievel Font



I have been trying to find a font that best replicated Evel Knievel's logo.  Using Google Web fonts, the best I came up with is as follows:

Yesteryear for the lowercase letters and and Oleo Script Swash Caps for the capital letters.  I also like Leckerli_One for the capital letters.
