the onion's av-club (the 'serious' side) interviews steven colbert. He talks about the inspiration for the set design, never thought about it beyond, 'hey, thats a cool set' but he claims everything in the room points at him.

this is going on my delicious feed, but for those that don't follow it... beautiful charts.

I think that is what he was trying to get at, but he didn't leave any rules for what direction meant what. perhaps a voting system that defined the layout? OH GOD I HAVE BEEN DOING TO MUCH GRAPHIC DESIGN!

did they light bonfires in the crowd?

wouldn't it be cooler if the direction/layout of the post was dictated by what sort of response was contained within it?

like:

- disagreeing posts go to the right and down, opening up the way for more responses
(and agreeing posts go to the left and down)
- joke posts go off to the side somewhere
- etc
- etc
- etc

hmmmm it makes sense in my head.

basically all that forum does is let you decide wether you are going to post to the right of or below any given post on the page (just as long as that direction has not already been taken by another post). Thinking about it more, it is the technical limitations that really get in the way of it being cool.

what's the horizontal axis in the 2d forum? I didn't get it just by looking at it...

"Contrary to popular belief, Chuck Norris, not the box jellyfish of northern Australia, is the most venomous creature on earth. Within 3 minutes of being bitten, a human being experiences the following symptoms: fever, blurred vision, beard rash, tightness of the jeans, and the feeling of being repeatedly kicked through a car windshield."

"tightness of the jeans" sounds positively awful!

I guess this is what the chuck norris 2.0 jokes are based off of...
