On a design note, there is a really weird bug going on with the page in chrome. It looks like Montserrat is showing little pixel sized bumps on top of the smaller letters. I'm not quite sure why, I've never noticed this before with any other font and IE displays the page fine.
Is this a sign of a badly hinted font? At first I thought it was Chrome's font rendering problem[0] again, but it's rendering fine for me on Ubuntu/Chrome, and others here are seeing the problem with Firefox.
I was less pleasantly surprised. It's become extremely common to write titles that are "clever" or that require context from the article to parse. That completely eliminates the most useful aspect of a title -- to give a hint as to the contents. If all titles were like this no one would have any clue what to click on and what to ignore.
Could we please be a little more boring and a little more straightforward with our titles?
I just want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to check out the article as well as all those who took additional time to leave a comment both here on Hacker News or on the blog itself. This has definitely been a humbling experience and I hope to keep you all informed along the way.

I will work on adding an email sign-up on the page tomorrow. Maybe even throw in a little "Inspired by Kiro of Hacker News." Thanks for the head-up, Kiro.

Those are a few little nuggets of what's to come. Tommy Dowd was actually a social media campaign that I launched about 18 months ago that helped get record producer Tom Dowd inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
It takes a lot of determination and creativity to bring an "imaginary friend" to life. I like the way you chose to describe the process (idea-to-product). Thanks for sharing!
Good luck to you, it's always exciting and inspiring to see someone working hard to bring an idea to life. One of the main reasons HN is my compiling time entertainment.
