Hello there, Disappointment. Please come right in.

Fans of the Giant Evolution Timeline, I salute you.

Last summer when I requested help with persuading a company to produce the Giant Evolution Timeline, you responded beautifully. You are clearly a discerning, talented, and good-looking bunch.

And now lets all prepare ourselves for the arrival of Disappointment.

Before we usher Disappointment into the living room and offer it a drink, let me lay out a few key facts regarding the company that expressed interest in producing the Giant Evolution Timeline:


  • Emails to my contact there have gone unanswered all summer.
  • As of this week their website seems to be down. I get an error message about robot.txt or something.
  • The company's social media sites haven't been updated in a couple of months.
  • The President appears to be working somewhere else now.
  • The other day I left a message with the only voice mail that picked up. No response.
...aaaaaaand now we can open wide the door and invite Disappointment in. Somebody please take its coat and hat. Oh, and I'll share in that drink.

Clearly this company isn't going to produce anything soon. I'm curious about its fate of course, but more curious about how to get the Giant Evolution Timeline back out into the world.
