thesixtyone is a music discovery game. There's a good, brief intro to how our site works if you follow the "learn more" link on our front page.
We're two guys, myself (James Miao) and Samuel Hsiung. My background is in video games while Sam's is in web applications. We made thesixtyone because we wanted to make finding and listening to new music as fun as possible.
Can hardly wait until the music actually plays on my system (Ubuntu/Firefox) :) I submitted it anyway because its awesomeness was immediately apparent.
(Also on my other system, with Flash off, ALL the pages get replaced with "Upgrade to the latest version of Flash here". The pages render and then are immediately replaced with that message.)
I was really starting to get into during the last hour of work, but then I came home and I really don't want to reboot over to Windows from Ubuntu. And starting next year even my work machine will be Ubuntu...
Haha, thanks for the suggestions. We actually bought a $400 Dell laptop (I have a Mac, but what a steal!) and are expecting it within a week. You can bet Ubuntu is going on that within <30 seconds of its arrival. If you have an e-mail address, I can send you a message when the site is Ubuntu-ready.
