I'm totally not a design oriented person: this is why I have a designer and a flash person at work to take care of that kind of work for me: It's way too much for me to take care of otherwise. That said, I am absolutely amazed at your work on that app. It's just... it's beautiful, really. Python is good for some things, but if you want something people can *enjoy*, rather than just use, you're going to be screwed by Python compared to Flash. Let me put it this way: For the most part, my app and yours get the same eventual results. However, your app will probably get 10 times as much press, and be used by 10 times as many people, and it deserves it. Really, great work. I'm glad to see something *good* being done with flash every now and then :) (I think your homepage, with the little car, is killer too, by the way, although it's a bit overdone for a navigation element, it's definitely fun.)

I'm certainly a flash person, but rapid is rapid. I look forward to trying out your version. In defense of Flash (at my own expense), a fair amount of my time was spent changing designs over and over again :) I tend more towards programming than design, so doing the visual design is a bit like pulling teeth. (The reason why I didn't do the other boroughs was actually due to the fact that I didn't want to spend the time to draw the map. darn that design!) Now for the unfortunate wee bit of intellectual honesty. Part of the time was setting up the PHP page to convert the jpg to a swf which you obviously don't have to do here :D that’s really cool!
