Looks great! But your "votes" section that I browsed seems to be listed rather oddly. Items seem to be listed randomly. They don't seem to be listed by title, date, number of votes, overall score, or anything really. It would

I remember clicking through those same pictures a few days back and I was under the impression that I was telling the observers what pictures I thought were more beautiful, not safer. Did they just re-label the same data here or is this ano

They were in business for 40 years... and Google maps just recently started incorrectly listing their hours. I highly doubt that the google maps error caused or even contributed to the downfall of their apparently well established business.

This website's UX is just amazing. There are at least 2, sometimes 3 suggestive links enticing you to view the next section of the single homepage. I must say, good show OCB. They could certainly stand to lose the flash requirement but

Ok fine, don't do work, maybe read the paper or do the other boring things you plan on doing every day? Sketch out a new idea perhaps? Daydream? Read the paper? Or your favorite blog? It's not "wasted time". All I am say
