The site barely works in Google Chrome and doesn't work at all in Firefox 3.6.

It what ways does it not work? (I didn't have any issues viewing it in Chrome or Firefox 4, but I may be missing something and not know it)

In ff3.6 you don't even see the pics (are there pics? I assumed so because it is a photo blog).

Yep, beautiful in FF 4.0.1

Make sure you're on the latest version of Chrome (12). The new hardware acceleration is necessary for the large photos to scroll smoothly.

Doesn't inertial scrolling refer to the scrollable area keeping on scrolling when you drag a bit and let go? And accelerating if you drag it "more"? (Like iOS table views do.)

It's great to get almost fullscreen photos in chrome, but scrolling the text feels a bit tiresome. Pgdn helps a bit, but then the text ends up in an arbitrary position most times. If pgdn == new image, and pgdn again == comment on top of new image, and pgdn a third time == new image again, then that would be optimal. This is nitpicking though. This is a beautiful way to showcase your photos.

I made it so you have to scroll the text a little bit further so that the photo would stay pinned down long enough that you could see it, and scroll horizontally to the other photos. You're right, though, that page up/down (and arrow keys) would be a nice way to nav also.

It's beautiful, Joe. Thank you.

Yeah, keyboard buttons don't have to be power-user focused if you explain it. You might find http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/06/the-125th-anniver... interesting : )

very bad on android.

Or I get zero content (browser in android more) or I cam only scroll vertically (in desktop mode) in a way I can only read the first few left chars
