Kelly has also written a book about it: "What Technology Wants" [1] and blogs at http://kk.org/ where the 'Technium' section was the basis for the aforementioned book.
I'm no fan of the idea.
The parsed source is outdated and probably will be forever because it's crowd-sourced and can't keep up with changing exhibitions and lendings of paintings, which is a common thing.
The use case where I check my phone to find a painting or an artist near me also seems far fetched. A better scenario would be to have a map with museums near me and up-to-date information what they currently exhibit. You would need better sources for that.
On the technical side it's quite slow at the moment but the blown up thumbnails (where the Athenaeum also had thumbnails for fair use reasons but in a better quality) were not nice. I would keep them in their original ratio.
I assume that this was probably more an excercise to test-drive some new tech.
There are passwords with uppercase letters and the puzzle distincts between those. e.g.: password is wrong but Password is correct.
It starts after 2 seconds or so.

Interestingly, it uses WASD for rowing, but the arrow keys (or the mouse) for diving.
After the 1st excercise it starts at 7 seconds rest and then 26 seconds for the next excercises (Chrome/Win).
I also wonder why the images or better the whole site isn't responsive? I would also add a link to one of the sources.
9 years ago some designers/developers even tried a nice update on it: http://www.designbyfire.com/?p=4
I suggest displaying 24 items per page, so there is no blank spot at the end when it displays 3 items per row. 24 obv works great with 2, 3, and 4.
One suggestion: A quick check, if Cancel is really what the user wanted or, if the site gets reloaded or the user leaves it by accidentally hitting a bookmark display a notification, that he/she might want to save first.
A categorization in "running", "on hiatus" (e.g.: Community) or "finished" (e.g.: House) would be nice.
Also: a calendar and feature to semi-personalize it, by simply using cookies to store series "to watch". Merge both for a semi-personalized calendar.
Speaking of "Episodes", this series is missing ;-)

They should make that easier to discover.
I just finished the book three days ago, really liked it, and thought, that there must be a site to collect programmers checklists for different tasks to have a similar collection as the aviation experts. Turns out, there is not...
Feather even exists today: http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta and works as far as I can tell. You can opt into it using the link.
You should add something like LoadImpact.com to the list ;-)
Would it hurt TNW to link to the mentioned projects?
I like it that according to https://my.ucf.edu/ their motto is "Stands for Opportunity".
It also looks like a standard answer with some non-standard text in between (we are swarmed, nice idea, here have a picture).
But I really like his letter. He is ready to bootstrap his idea of cutting open a really large human and putting him in a fiberglass box. He should sue Gunther von Hagens and his Body Worlds.
Not a single Google Maps Direction joke was made...
