Agree - Flotr2 is awesome. To be fair this library seems to offer a little more in terms of interactive charts, which I don't think FLotr2 does much (I know you can kind of get 'selection' in pie charts, but I don't know of anything else).

Yeah, I felt like a bit of an asshole for pointing it out too. I hope Geary can be successful, an can learn lessons from the chandler project about how not to do it.

re: the single most stupid thing I've heard in a while - wow, I say stuff way more stupid than that all the time. Really, though - most users don't look at a site and think 'gee, I wish the designer had dome something more original with the

A friend of mine had a large internal component come loose in his iPhone 5. AFAIK he hadn't dropped it or anything either (there were no marks on the outside, and he wasn't fessing up to anything). You could move the phone and feel and hear
