In the future please consider building pages like this as static websites. It's much easier to scale your API if you don't also have to worry about serving the HTML, and it would load much faster than the 56 seconds it's taking now: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150417_N7_14PK/

If you're interested, here are some details, but you can also just Google "static website": https://eager.io/blog/build-static-websites/

I like the idea, but I don't really get the whole swearing like a drunken sailor thing. It's not funny, it's just stupid. I get that its Dave McClure's gimmick or whatever, but I think we can be more original than that.

It really wants me to go to Witchita for some reason. The troll in the cage does seem quite nice, but its just shy of two thousand miles away from me.

    It tried to send me to a nice place 800 kilometers (500 miles) away. I wonder whether the problem is with locating me or with the database of great outdoor places.

      It would be nice if there were some way to look at that database, so I can know whether I ought to go through the effort to look up my old pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge Park carousel or whether not to bother.

Why don't you go the fuck outside and check out.... indoor golfing.

Tough domain name. Between 'got' and 'he' and the non-word 'f', I had a hard time parsing it.

I thought this was going to be about the Flash of Unstyled Text browsers experience with custom fonts.

Where does it pull the photos from? I'm sure there's one of my photos there.

Yes, I'd love to go the fuck outside and check out this pulsating orange dots.

Crashed my browser (Chrome 42), any one else experiencing that?
