The New Face of BrainDump

After a few weeks of disillusionment with my progress on BrainDump, John S. pumped me up with noise about casting a broad net and all that. You know, the percentage of people interested in BrainDump may be small, tiny even, but if I notify the entire planet about it, I may just get a handful of interested and talented people to participate in its development. So this weekend I spent some time and finished up the web presence of BrainDump.
- Created a new SVG icon in Inkscape - what do you think?
- Created a dedicated Google Sites page: http://braindump.dvhart.com
- Hacked around a bit to get the Site5 svn installation working for pseudo-anonymous read-only source access
- Created the users and development mailing lists
Now I think I'll sit on it a bit and get some feedback from a couple friends, I hope to start making noise on 43 Folders, Life Hacker, Freshmeat, etc. sometime next week. Please have a look and let me know what you think of the site.
The icon is nice, but...

I still like the idea of a brain sitting on a toilet. I know, the twelve year old inside me wins again.

Brain Icons

So I spent some time working on stylized vector graphic brains, but the trouble was, I couldn't get them to look like anything more than a blob when in the menu or panel (24 pixels tall). Besides that, they didn't evoke that professional/polished look I was hoping for. I think this one fits nicely with the other Gnome icons... something I'm not sure a slimy brain and stylized toilet could do :-)
