Awesome. Love the name/domain. Beautiful UI that will clearly keep getting more so. Couple of thoughts re design: 'Love sharing great things to do?' box should line up on the right side with the right side of the boxes above (using Safari.) I'd also try making the width of the sign up bar at the bottom the same as the footer bar (Home | What is This?, etc.) Keep up the sharp work.
It is not really that outlandish. Ugly houses are not going to kill you or anyone else - directly. It is that the more we degrade the human and natural environment by creating ugly, depressing, inhumane spaces, places and practices, the less capital (natural, human, etc.) our children, their children and their children will have live on.
I do believe it is a survival issue. Call me extreme but if we don't start making the manufactured landscape beautiful we are going to destroy the "natural" landscape completely. I would rather everyone be fed, clothed, sheltered and educated. If we cover those bases the chances of living in a more aesthetically appealing world are much higher.
Brilliant post and great improvement on the design. It is much easier to look at and absorb. This goes along with the intent of my comment on the "Eye candy is a critical business requirement" post.
