holiday special: enter the radarverse

radarxyz.substack.com

a few days ago, I asked the editorial squad if anyone had any “fun, cute, easy” ideas we could share on Wavelength this week. We were “winding down” the server for the holidays (read: realistically no one is going anywhere, but we’re encouraging lots of incremental grass-touching - or snow-touching, depending on your hemisphere). We’ll be picking Reporting from RADAR and more of our regular content back up in the new year, but it felt lacking for 2022 to come to an end without one closing dispatch to you all, dear readers.

gnome goodness via the inimitable Domingo Beta, of course

My prompt brought up a concept we’ve been noodling on for some time: explorations around process-as-product, Miro-as-output, self-guided vs. chronological editorial (originally, I’d imagined a short, cheeky listicle. Thus is RADAR.)

and it spiraled, in the course of a few hours

through Tolkein-esque maps

animal crossing screenshots

many, many miro templates

group-effort hunts for months-old memes

more lore than we knew we had

visions of community-care futures

and homing our beloved frogs into their very own pond

Our “fun, easy, cute” project blossomed into something much bigger, that we couldn’t have had more fun making. So we’re thrilled to present to you, RADAR: Mapped. Part archive, part reflection, part imagination, it’s our own little universe that we invite you to explore at your leisure.

RADAR is a magical little land, and we’ve been so blessed to be worldbuilding with you this year. Happy exploring!
