Authentication currently fails if there are trailing spaces in the username.

You need to trim the username before validating it.

how do you get fonts to look like that. I'm starting to see them all over the place. Fonts that look like they are indented into the page.

It's a letterpress effect, you basically use a combination of an inner shadow and drop shadow in photoshop. There are ways of doing it with CSS as well. It's been majorly abused already, although it's subtle enough in these designs.

I've had this idea for a logarithmic calendar/timeline for event aggregation purposes... but I don't know where to start. I have some experience programming in C, Python, and Java, and a wee bit of HTML/CSS experience, but no JS or JS-related stuff. Do you think you could give me some pointers on how I could go about implementing this kind of thing?

A good way to build an first app in Python would be to go through the google app engine docs for python, they provide the ability to deploy your app and have a good api. To learn javascript, if you already know C the syntax itself is a lot like C, but there is the dom and dynamically typed variables. A good way to start might be learning some javascript basics and taking a look at jQuery: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutor…

Are there any specific libraries or features that would be particularly salient to this endeavor?

for javascript in the browser jQuery is a godsend.

if you like functional programming check out underscore.js

jquery ui is a jQuery plugin that eases many ui tasks, but be careful - it's easy to go overboard.
