May not be easy to read, but it does seem very unique.

I gotta say its rather slick.

Good thing there aren't any people who have difficulty seeing or accurately mousing in the world, or else that could be a really hard-to-use site for some...
Prayin' for a 20!

gcc thorin.c -pedantic -o Thorin
compile successful

I guess I had more to say, so when I reviewed it I linked to that little online "Joel on Software" GUI book.

Sure, it's cool, creative and unique BUT it fails misterably at being user interface, which is its function. I'm not saying a GUI can't be artistic or different but it should be easy to use and functional first.

I didn't say it was a good UI, just unique

Ups! Sorry I didn't mean it that way, I had placed some comments in StumbleUpon about the fact that it is interesting and unique it's sorta hard to use and makes me not want to view that persons art portfolio (it was buried in there after some mouse wiggles).

Not directed at you. Sorry!

The thing about a user INTERFACE is the user has at least a hint of where to "go" with the mouse/keyboard/cursor, and what "can" be done, what actions are available, what sections are navigatable...

Cool but confusing. :P
