It looks like a very nice itinerary.

I wish I could see the text and the larger image just by hovering over the different points on the map, rather than clicking.

I didn't look at all the places. Too much clicking. Too slow. Too much fear of bugs.

At least I'd like to see the text in the places listed below the map, and have the image appear when I hover over the thumbnail.

The image appearing when hovering is very nice. I've been thinking of doing that for my photos thingie.

Clicking: it's sooo Web 1.0.

I'm buying myself a no-button mouse, that's how cool I am.

And soon I'll be junking the mouse and just waving in the computer's general direction.

Clicking: you're right, it's a major stumbling block. Why is it necessary in this day and age? I want to make a version of metafilter where you don't have to click to see the cool sites.

I think it's cool to read the comments Jason made on this map from Cognoshanty. Someone try commenting on one of the places from here. See how it feels.

yeah it was neat that you included the whole thing inline, that was fun. How did you do that?

Yeah, well, it was really hard. I had to spend a lot of time thinking through the whole thing, you know. Probably four hours of coding there...

I'm learning a lot, but this kind of thing still seems like magic to me. It seems like having everything on the off-Platial site is easy. The harder part is going to be NOT having everything on a site for people who want maps without comments or other people's tags.

I posted a comment yesterday. It worked fine.

I just looked at the turtle. Very nice!

I'm still frustrated that I can't see your whole itinerary with comments and pictures in an easier way. In this case the map is a nice extra to visualize where it is you're talking about, but it's the text and pictures I mostly want to see.

I'd be psyched to do jogging/photo itineraries for Paris. I started to do one on feedmarker a while ago, but it's very limited and buggy. So I eagerly await Platial.

Frustrated Total Internal Reflection is what I was wishing for. The demo video has a nice soundtrack, too. How come computers come with only one pointing device, anyway? (via rw)
