Love this! Menu design has really lost a lot of it's art, especially with online ordering.

Honestly, it's just so easy to shop at Amazon with Prime, I'm not sure anything will convince me to use Jet instead.

I love the cheezburger guys, and think they do good work, but wow that was terrible. I need band-aids for my eyes.

great suggestion Hugh. We definitely want to incorporate the time of day and time between stops at some point, both for the reason you suggested as well as to be smarter about the types of attractions we suggest at different times. thanks!

If any of you are in Seattle, and want to become registered marrow donors and potentially help save a life, there is a swabbing party tonight at the Rob Roy in Belltown.

It's easy for us to discount all the non-technical stuff that needs to be done - but without it we might as well be playing with ourselves in our closets.

Fair point about unverifiable numbers, but in Disqus' case I don't think it is running scared - just celebrating the traction that they've achieved and announcing that they just raised a big round.
That said, I'm a huge Disqus fan, and hate FB comments, so I may be biased :)

Like jrnkntl said, we cache all resized copies.
The reason we resize and apply effects at request time instead of at upload time is that our design needs may change over time, and this way we don't need to go back and batch reprocess things.
