I had something built that is VERY similar (architecture - blobs of text with titles, twitter login, comments, voting, tags, flask+mongody) except for another completely different use: http://cluedb.com/
Might be interesting to share code?

Just pushed a new build that removes the quotes - that was one of those things that looks better on a mockup than it does in production. As for the scrolling issue, it could either be the Twitter @Anywhere hovercards or the background (used some CSS hacks to make it scale with the window when you resize) - could you let me know what browser you are using?
That's odd - I tested it in Chrome on Windows 7 on a machine with similar specs and I don't have that issue. I'll do some digging around and see if there's something funky with that block of CSS or my JS
Good stuff, indeed. I have always a place to go to just discuss ideas with other creative people. I've used Twitter to do something similar, mentioning Twitter handles of those who would could use the idea I had in mind.
I'll post tonight!

Please drop the "s around everything. The picture being there and the context forces me to associate it with a person and not the site, the "s are redundant. Especially in comments. Also scrolling is insanely laggy for me, I have no idea why, but I assume it's all the JS.

That's high on my list of things to add - that, tagging, and email subscriptions. Love the feedback :D
I might be the only person on the planet who still uses it, but RSS would be awesome!
I love this. I had something built that is VERY similar (architecture - blobs of text with titles, twitter login, comments, voting, tags, flask+mongody) except for another completely different use: http://cluedb.com/ Might be interesting to share code?
Absolutely - I'd love to show you what I'm running under the hood. My email is aaron AT aaronstannard.com - what's the best way to get in touch?
I made this in the course of a couple weekends and wanted some feedback on how I can make it better. I've heard email notifications for comments and easier social sharing features so far, but I would love to know what else I can do to make it better.
Here are a few simple CSS tweaks that can improve readability. I only spent a couple of minutes, but I think it helps: http://pastebin.com/WEKswHND EDIT: Here's a screenshot preview: http://cl.ly/022H381a2N2p1N0h3q0k
Dude, you are a life-saver. I'm going to use this and deploy it soon after I try to patch that scrolling lag issue people have been reporting - is there any way I can give you an acknowledgement or something in the footer of CaptainObvious or on the about page?
I found scrolling up and down the page to be very laggy--without much investigation, it appears to be caused by the background image.
@aaronontheweb Are you tying the resize of the background directly to the window resize or scroll event? You might want to consider using setTimeout(customResizeFunc, 100) just to keep the scroll event from blocking
