It's not the length, it's the content - and the content was great. The Bathsheba site is mind-bendingly cool. Lots of people are going to hear about this...

We seem have fallen into a 'one pic per post' rule here. I'm glad to see you breaking it. I like that we're one step closer to the home universal fabricator. Next step is to build one that will use multiple types of stock, so you can incorporate metals, glass, and so on, into your design, and make more functional devices. Also, I liked the destructo flying saucers. At work, I had an epidemic a year or so ago, with mosto of my clients loading a program that let you turn your mouse into a hammer or flamethrower or several other tools, so they could click and whack stuff into smoking fragments whenever documents (especially e-mails) pissed them off. Was extremely popular, and I didn't discourage it, considering some of the alternative ways they could have vented..... The post is not too long at all, Morgan.

With pixel shaver, f'rex, it only lets you shave the top portion of the site. I love the demonstration. Text sucker is fun too, but it takes a bit too long to finish, imo.

"Oh, brave new world we live in!" isn't inappropriate, is it? Marvels and mayhem. People should cue the Mars Attacks even if they do like the post. It's great fun and disturbs the cat.

No, the post isn't too long, though you've got a minor layout problem with point 2 and the screenshots are difficult to view without clicking through to the sites. But it's nice tech; I'd call it Way Cool, but I suspect the younger generation considers it only natural. You’re going to be using those R2D2 mailboxes, aren’t you?
