This is cool! I've definitely looked for a site that did this before. What's it built on?

Hilarious! It's an absurd combination but a surprisingly fun way to munge around with beats.

The 808 instruments sound intrinsically familiar and make the mishmash you get from random play still sound cohesive and coherent. It's an unexpectedly good choice for music toys like this. Gotta love that cowbell

Android has android.util.Log.wtf[1], "What a Terrible Failure". That makes me laugh and this makes me laugh and I'm all for a little humor in specifications

Layering on your end, yeah.

Per pages like http://www.microlens.com/pages/choosing_right_lens.htm different applications prefer different viewing angles.

If you can track down ideal lenses and give tips for capturing ideal photos that'd be awesome.

http://poppy3d.com/ is cute product shipping soon: they might be interested in partnering (they've had ~2900 backers on Kickstarter)

This is super cool. I've looked a little at lenticular printing for 3D prints but sourcing the lenses was a little more effort than I needed. I'd pay well over material cost to have someone else handle assembling. If you add an option meant for that I'd be all over it.

These breakpoints seem chosen somewhat arbitrarily. I'd enjoy a longer post elaborating on why you chose them!

The seminal Boston Globe design chose 5 breakpoints based on rough hardware buckets, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshclark/6200745034/ (via https://twitter.com/globalmoxie/status/120157487797243905 ).

This is cool! An interesting experiment.

I think a quick shadow does a lot to give the divider some heft and alleviate concerns about visual ambiguity between foreground and background page.

It would look something like http://cl.ly/image/2N3B2V2d2L3W (pardon the wonky #ss_topPage). It can be done in CSS (+ two empty divs, uh) with small effort. To me it feels like the most usable skeuomorphic hint you could drop.

Sass' Compass framework has a helper to automatically generate inline data URIs. http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/helpers/inline-da...

This is handy for media that will change--inlined images and such. Manually updating encodes is an easy step to forget.

These launched with Twitter's redesign last year. http://socialmediab2b.com/2011/12/b2b-twitter-brand-pages/

The "Promoted Tweet" pinned on top of brand pages is auto-expanded, so realistically most companies will probably be using it to showcase a video or graphic rather than trying to engage in 140. Oh well.

"Twitter for iPhone pro-tip: swipe up on Me for DMs and swipe left on Me to switch accounts." /via https://mobile.twitter.com/bhaggs/status/144846707925061632

Not the most discoverable gesture, but it's there, though it's only a little weirder than "swipe across tweet for secondary actions" (though on that topic I'll miss using that to quickly save links to Instapaper).

I doubt phone antennas are the bottleneck, they're a pretty minor part of a huge, lumbering voice-transmission infrastructure. Much of that infrastructure is presumably expensively, archaic, and built assuming that audio traveling through it is compressed all to heck.

You can stream tunes in real time over data with quality far in excess of what a high-def voice call would need. There's bandwidth to spare on the data side of things.

This is a meandering article. Marco Arment's response at http://www.marco.org/2011/10/27/high-definition-audio conveys the point much more clearly and succinctly.

Yeah, that's the "pancake". It works in street-level view because there's 3D spatial data to help bound navigable regions, and because when you're at street-scale you don't mind being a little off. In this comic bookery or in any cramped space I feel like I'd need slightly higher fidelity.

Love the idea, but the Street View UI has never felt all that fun to use and it feels worse indoors. Walking around a shop or mall at Street View pace—12-ish steps for every press of a small, non-fixed arrow—is something I hope I never have a reason to do.

The pancake (http://techcrunch.com/2009/06/04/introducing-the-pancake-a-l...) and the city-scale of things make moving on streets more tolerable (though Legoland is not bad: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=legoland&hl=en&ll=33.1...), what's the interface for person-scale, cramped interior navigation? Until there's a solid answer this doesn't seem very enjoyable.

Well, sure, because they're full of books. But if libraries plan to survive in a future without books then they'll be full of computers.

If disadvantaged homes can't afford ebook readers they will read on computers. They will go to the library and get online there and read millions, billions of free things on line, far, far in excess of what is available in a city's second-hand stores. Much is dreck, sure, but those who really hunger for knowledge can find it beyond what a room full of books can offer.

The selection can't be quite as grand as what will be available to people able to pay for ebooks, but the same is true of the author of this piece and being limited to second-hand, very affordable books.

This is a great idea and I hope it brings you a month of interesting adventures.

That said, hope you'll be cleaning my home some time soon. :p

Is this accessible for audio browsers? Screen readers navigating by form elements will be pretty lost without <label>s (and WAI-ARIA attributes for rich components, but one thing at a time).

Would hate to be the site that tried to simplify their billing but got an accessibility lawsuit[1] for their troubles.

I see plenty of people I know of but have never interacted with online (in fact I just found the previous-unfound profile of a coworker with a very common name). Facebook is /smart/--though I wouldn't doubt for a second that they've used your friend finder data to strength their edgerank data I would not be surprised to learn their seeming precognition comes from more esoteric sources.
