Unrelated to the story but I'm not too fond of taking over the scroll wheel for transitions. Sure, it's a cool effect here but it tricked me into thinking I had my Ctrl key pressed down somehow.

It's not enough to make me leave but it is a bit disorienting, if not annoying.

Oh God I just spend 5 mins trying to figure out why they are zooming a picture on scroll, I thought it was bug in the site.
That was ghastly. I spent a full minute closing and re-opening the tab and refreshing. Why anyone would thing onScrollDown is a nice event to capture for a zoom-in on a portrait like that is beyond me. It almost felt like an extremely annoying troll.
On mobile, my first thought was that something had bugged out and caused single finger pinch-to-zoom. Had my digitizer broken...?
I'm looking at the page on a MBP and I can't read anything. How did you get it working? Both the touchpad and the up/down arrows just change the size of the text.
I believe you just have to scroll down far enough.
Jesus, it makes it super horrible on mobile... enough to drive me away.
