Earlier quoted context omitted.

This one reminds me of Dustin Curtis' controversial kudos effect: http://tympanus.net/Development/HoverClickTriggerCircle ; http://dcurt.is

That particular element stuck out to me too when I was browsing Curtis' blog a week or two ago. Was it actually controversial?

controversial as in it's an undesirable, irreversible interaction that really turns people off and critics of dcurtis's "work" were more than happy to speak out about it.

Is it practical? Not really. Do I like it? Hell yes. Thank you for showing me this.

yeah, exactly. as a dev i'm just solidly impressed with the experiment. it seems like a fun project someone decided to tackle and did so quite well. what i think most of us want now is for the author to take it to the next level and make it more appropriate for our non-touch devices, but that's not really his responsibility for an experiment.
