Nice. It needs a way to "click off" the picker to close it, without choosing a new date. E.g. the date is pre-selected, I open it, and then I want to close it again without changing the date. I intuitively expected that if I click the original field it will toggle off again, or I clicked elsewhere on the page it would close, like a lightbox overlay.

This is beautiful work. By way of comparison, I've recently created Pablo, a very lightweight and expressive JavaScript library for creating and manipulating SVG: http://pablojs.com

Pablo aims to be a thin layer over SVG, is inspired by the APIs for Raphael, jQuery and Underscore, but is only 3KB.

I agree. ^username.com feels spiky.

There's a strong convention for using @ to refer to someone, not just in email addresses, so I think it will be quite intuitive, especially if the http(s) is removed: @daniel.tent.is works pretty well I think.

To clarify, I wasn't so much thinking of continents drifting relative to each other, rather something like the Earth's crust slipping on the molten mantle so that the continents all moved together from equator to pole and vice versa. I remember hearing some potential evidence for this (but don't have any links to hand).

Evidence of a shift in the geographical poles some time in the past?

Did anyone ever make an API that could read a user's upvoted/saved articles from HN? It would require some kind of login credentials, as the data is not public.
