Experimental site navigation added to blog

Recently, I have become enamored with the concept of a "command line" interface. While, I wish I could take credit for the concept, I was quick to realize that before the OS UI, there were punch cards...the punch cards were good...but, quickly replaced by a terminal with a command line for telling computers what to do.

Anyway, I digress. With Mac OS X, the Spotlight application is my most favorite as it provides a command line interface for launching any application or searching for any document on my Mac. Furthermore, I found Enso from Humanized that provides similar functionality to my PC.

So, thinking about it some, what bothers me the most about web sites is the fact that you have to use a mouse to navigate them effectively. So, I figured bring the command line to the web site. The "kui navigation" is a beta navigation tool for websites (v. 0.000001...you get the point, it's very new and not tested at all) leveraging the DOM and Yahoo! AutoComplete GUI library. The result, is a command line that allows you to start typing the text of a hyperlink on the page and it will shortlist the matches based on the DOM which you can select to jump to the next page.

Get it? Give it a try, it's in the right navigation pane. Remember, no comments from the peanut gallery unless they are positive. I made no attempt to test outside of Firefox nor did I worry about duplicate links.
