Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.
I wanted to start a project that would increase the use of the local LA County library system. To do so, I thought it would be awesome to get more people to stop buying books from Amazon, and instead checkout books from their local library.
I still need to work out some kinks, but I created a github repo that will overlay links to the same books from amazon you’re browsing.
For instance, say there are links in the page like the following:
Assuming that the github js link works, if you click on the link, and then re-hover over the previous links you will see API calls to the LA County website.
Nothing special in this iteration, but just a general idea.
Also note that there is a bug when run inside tumblr with the hovering divs going away and the right url not being highlighted. :(
looks to be the future of surfing, seems way more real than the waverider pools
