God knows whether this will be the metaphor for manipulating documents in a few years. I wouldn't be surprised if large chunks of this kind of interaction appear all over the place. Beautiful. Interesting.
jkottke : BumpTop is a prototype of a new desktop metaphor for computing, and a pretty damn intriging one at that - You've probably seen this by now, but if you haven't, you should. BumpTop is a prototype of a new desktop metaphor for computing, and a pretty damn intriging one at that.

Simon Willison : Metafilter new user signups are open - Requires a $5 one-time donation.
plasticbag : Memberships available on Metafilter for a one-off $5 donation to the server fund - The donation does not entitle you to any special treatment and if you misbehave you will be ejected. I quite like this approach as a way to deal with bandwidth and a way to cut down on rogue users abusing the system.
