Very cool - my friends and I have made so many attempts at solving this problem.
This one solves it elegantly by just adding some js to grooveshark. I worry that it might be a little too complicated for normal people, sweet idea though!

contestantThanks for your feedback and vote!
Very well designed, simple and intuitive.
The SMS integration is definitely a nice touch. Seems useful in the right situations.
Great work, guys!
Seems like a useful app in the right circumstances - the google maps integration looks pretty sweet.!
Images would definitely help this a lot. Seems like a more specialized drop-in replacement for tweets in an emergency.
From the video, this looks super sweet. The graphics seem like a very legitimate video game.
I had trouble getting my characters to actually move around - not sure why exactly.
Having more things to do in the game would also be cool - but those probably require more than 48h :P. Nicely done.

contestantThe game works best in chrome a monitor resolution of 1400x700 or better. You also want to make sure your zoom level is set to 100% (we didn't have time to tune/take into consideration browser zoom level).
Haha, this is easy to grasp and well-executed. I also dig the 8-bit aesthetic, fits well with node knockout.
Using the motion on your mobile device is a really cool idea.
Awesome work, row bros.
This looks really cool guys - it seems like there is a really impressive amount of technology here.
Had I not seen how it works at joyent, I wouldn't know where to start. If would be awesome if there was some sort of walkthrough or video (though that was probably outside the time limit). Seems like a cool idea.

contestantThanks! Check out the code on GitHub to see how it works https://github.com/nko3/something-clever.
Yeah, an explanatory video would be awesome, though we would want to do more work to get the app working and finished first :P.
Seriously cool. I'd been thinking about trying to implement something like cassandra in node for a while.
Admittedly, I'm not sure how to reason about a cluster architecture of dynamo without the gossip protocol. I may be missing something, but won't that create kind of a mismatch between the dynamo desire for AP and the zookeeper/paxos CP? It seems like you would end up sacrificing some of the the availability goals.
Still though, this is an awesome project. I really hope you keep working on it!
This is awesome guys, really well done.
Really cool idea. Reminds of some kind of blend of Bitorrent and TOR.
What would be really cool is if you guys distributed pieces of the information between dropboxes for redundancy and so that each person could have some deniability to owning entire parts of the file :P. Kind of reminds me of vanish: http://vanish.cs.washington.edu/
Really well done, guys! It would be cool if in the dashboard it auto-analyzed public repos, and gave me a little icon next to each one. That way I wouldn't have to look through them all to find problematic ones.

contestantDefinitely! We were hoping to pull that in, but the repos list is just passed through from our github component (not our analysis component) and we were running out of time ;)
However, you can get public repos since it matches github's routing scheme:

This is awesome, really well designed too.
