I love the concept of impress.js and started making a presentation for the agency I work for: http://kitchdigital.com/about/
Warning, there is a lot of zooming around and you might feel sick.

I wonder if some of those 500,000 messages were relationship or transactional in nature since the FCC does not ban those [1]

OT: Just so you are aware, "gypped" is a racial slur against gypsies.

> David Pogue can speak for himself
Translation: "I do not agree with David Pogue"
The phrase "speak for" is an idiom and is not meant to be taken literally.

I like how you also did that with the dates (e.g. "Friday" goes to "Fri")
Unsolicited feedback: At the narrower widths, the sidebar (.secondary) would be better off falling after the main content (.primary) It might also work having "Filter by topic" turned into a drop down.

I just did the speed test on linode (Atlanta) and got 52.1 MBps. I can't say enough good things about their service.

I like how there is no option for shared hosting.
I did a php app for a client on Media Temple's (gs) and it was unbearably slow. The php execution time would vary drastically (.1 seconds to over a minute) even on a simple debugging page. After a lot of back and forth with customer service and never being able to pinpoint the issue, I switch to Linode.

Maybe things will change with how the browser implements fractions but 112/3 = 11(2/3) and 3431/5147 = 3431/5147 (there is no 1/5) http://imgur.com/a/4FFNy
Edit: Spelling.

I think you'll enjoy Lawrence Lessig's talk about the exact issue you brought up. It's call Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It [Link] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=I...

I wish they had an opt-in ad program so people who don't want to donate can still help.
