Blame Drew's Cancer
- SwellJoe 17y agoThat's a really slick design and app.
- mdd 17y agoThanks! It's for a good cause too. We were expecting a softer launch but once Lance Armstrong mentioned us, we were off to the races. Fortunately our little xen instance has held up and the exposure has sure made the search for sponsors a lot easier. Now vote this story up or I'll have to #BlameDrewsCancer for it not making it to the front page!
- ivankirigin 17y agoThere has got to be a way to crowdsource some of the funds with http://tipjoy.com http://tipjoy.com . Shoot me an email if you have any questions ivan@tipjoy.com
- mdd 17y agoThat's a great idea. We're talking with some potential sponsors now so perhaps this could be an avenue for a matching-funds type of fundraiser... I'll follow up with email. Thanks!

- ryanwaggoner 17y agoWhat the fuck is wrong with you?
- antiismist 17y agoThe only article Lady Fortuna has no control over is your behavior. Good Luck.
- daveungerer 17y agoAs soon as the page loads, the text describing what the site does becomes covered by one of the messages. Epic fail until that is fixed. Quite cool otherwise.
- arrrg 17y agoOnly if your vertical resolution is smaller than about 750 pixels. Calling that an epic fail is pathetic.
- daveungerer 17y agoOK, so it's only everyone in the world who's using a 13" screen, which includes, but is not limited to, everyone using a MacBook or a MacBook Air. Do you truly believe that's not a major problem, when all these people are left wondering why Drew's Cancer is being blamed for random stuff? They'll never know that they're trying to raise funds. I really love the visual design, which is why I said it's only an epic fail until the issue is addressed. Because this is the launch - you can't stop the viral spread of something like this.
- arrrg 17y agoHuh? MacBook and MacBook Air both have a vertical resolution of 800 pixels. That gives you plenty of space for everything to be displayed including browser chrome and the menu bar. Even browsers that have a higher browser chrome than safari won’t have a problem.
- daveungerer 17y agoDoesn't work right on my MacBook with FireFox 3.0.10. There is nothing special about my setup, except for the fact that my dock is currently at the bottom and not on auto-hide - surely not uncommon, being the default and all, even though I like hiding it when doing serious hacking. In any case, you can't assume a minimum resolution when designing a website. At the very least, give lower resolution users the option of scrolling.
