   You seem to know your stuff, perhaps you could suggest some direction for an offhand idea I had? I'd like to build a standalone version of something like this site for an art installation at a festival a friend is hosting. I was thinki

    The shift of the use of bobbles from Peace War to Marooned in Realtime is _wild_. Fantastic stories, wildly creative, delightfully different.

    At the beginning of the recording you can see the user drag a selection box over the main content of the instagram profile omitting the left hand nav elements. I think it never saw that part.
