The RubyUI team is doing a fantastic job. This gem is now one of the first ones I add to a new project. Thanks for your work!

@ibdknox: you definitely need to get this project on kickstarter (to fund the work on an open source implementation ideally) it could really change the way people approach software development and Clojure in particular. The ideas you're presenting aren't necessarily new, but if they didn't caught on was more due to being done at the wrong time or the wrong way. I could definitely see you being able to pull it off!

I tried dragging mp3 samples as instructed and nothing happen! Using Chrome on Windows 7.
The idea is great, but the implementation is totally broken presently. I tried two times with "Montreal, QC" as a query, the first time it returned only result from London (UK) and the second time only Philadelphia (PA).
Playin' with the ruby gc
Re:David Kadavy's "Design for Hackers" now on Amazon

HACKER [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] n. 1. A person who enjoys learning the details of programming systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically, or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming. 3. A person capable of appreciating hack value (q.v.). 4. A person who is good at programming quickly. Not everything a hacker produces is a hack. 5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; example: "A SAIL hacker". (Definitions 1 to 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.) 6. A malicious or inquisitive meddler who tries to discover information by poking around. Hence "password hacker", "network hacker". -- The Original Hacker's Dictionary
Edit: I didn't downvoted you, I think people were a bit unfair, but I wanted to point that the word hacker already had a variety of meanings even 30 years ago.
