American Idol app on Ning
I just finished coding a fully-AJAXified app on Ning for the American Idol folks, and I am super-proud of it. Fully CSS/XHTML-compliant, unobtrusive JavaScript (thanks to Behavior.js), amazingly clean Rubyish JavaScript (yay for Prototype.js!!), cool fade transitions (kudos to the remarkable Scriptaculous library which makes them so easy). This thing is a work of art, and I am ecstatic just thinking about it.
Code to bask in:
Mad props to Kyle Ford who did the visual design.

Well, it's OK ...oh wait, I had NoScript turned on... in fact it's brilliant, really impressive. You are right to glow with pride.
Of course, it's not a lot of use to those of us who aren't American Idol fans. Or even American...
Great work though.

Jon, I am seriously jealous! That CSS is a work of art! After introducing you to the ways of semantic XHTML+CSS, I'm now the one playing catch up - damn you!!!
Thankfully part of your genius is that you comment everything you do - which is just the icing on the cake!
Well done Sir, it's a real pleasure working with you!
(BTW, I guess you now hate Snazzy as much as I do? ;-) )

Paul - As your work has been the inspiration for my learning css/xhtml, I am deeply touched.

As the man who asked the man to make the map by THE man, I am proud of your work and hope it kills your servers...in a good way of course. Thanks again...Jeff
