As I’ve said before, these guys are on fire. The Supertart<\/a> kids have launched a brand new social network,<\/a> my own personal author scoreboard<\/a>, and now they’ve shipped a little project we worked on together back in the Spring a few years ago.<\/p>\n

It’s called the Subliminal Signal Detector<\/a> and it’s based on a passage from Douglas Adams’s\u00c2\u00a0The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.<\/em><\/p>\n

“In moments of great stress, every life form that exists gives out a tiny sublimal signal. This signal simply communicates an exact and almost pathetic sense of how far that being is from the place of his birth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was conceived during one of those terrible news stories events, and Douglas’s sentiment just kind of rang true. You never feel so\u00c2\u00a0disconnected from the place of your birth as you do in times of great stress.<\/p>\n

So we figured we’d throw together a little web app to help other people figure out what their own subliminal signal might be at any given location. And then they waited… and waited… and waited. And now, for some reason they’ve decided to make it public, at long last.<\/p>\n

It should look good on your iPad, your iPhone, your standard web browser. Heck, give it to a friend, an enemy, somebody having a bad day, figure out maybe\u00c2\u00a0why<\/em> they’re having a bad day.<\/p>\n
