Cool! Where does the "Say something! > Send" field go when I click send? EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like the confetti dots were previously words, and displayed unfiltered user input from the form. Always hilarious, always dangerous, this thing with the unmoderated user input.
The entire journey is very inspiring. I wonder what she will do now that it's done? You could take this idea and run with it into other niches, like music or photography projects.
a good friend of mine had done a similar photo project a few years ago: 100 days of kissing ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/29413748@N00/sets/7215762279459... ). He was capturing a "kiss a day" with his girlfriend in front of a different London landmark for 100 consecutive days :)

Of course the GP knows that, and he is rejecting the use as an insult and substituting the idea that someone attempting that is saying something nonsensical; "wow this water sure is dry". I think it's awesome.
To me it just sounds like someone being needlessly difficult and nit-picky, which we have plenty of on this site without pretending that connotation doesn't exist.
It's a next to impossible task, like the people who would like to reclaim the swastika back to its original peaceful meaning, but it's great to try.

So, he was learning to kiss? the 180 web project was about learning.

Or if you're really ambitious (also: independently wealthy), try a new niche each day. Must have been draining coming up with a new toy-size web project to do daily...
This is by far the most interesting aspect of her journey. What was her process for coming up with 180 unique ideas over 180 days? It's like there's some secret wellspring of creativity she happened to stumble across. When I think about what she's accomplished here, I get stuck in a mental loop like, "How the heck did she think of 180 projects, each able to be completed by a non-veteran developer within a single 8-ho…

Yes, it can be seen as nit-picky, but I don't think the person is pretending the connotation doesn't exist. Maybe they're just trying to start the long process of de-teething that connotation so that in maybe 50 years saying someone is gay might actually mean, once again, that they are extremely happy. It's a next to impossible task, like the people who would like to reclaim the swastika back to its original peaceful…

Paul Graham is gay -- is not derogatory unless you think being gay is wrong; it's simply factually inaccurate. Like saying, "Harry Potter is in Ravenclaw." Which is offensive if you have a prejudice against Ravenclaws.
