For Spiral scrolling, with a touch-screen interface, any swipes along a
tangent of the spiral would spin the spiral in the direction of the swipe
revealing hidden items from the appropriate end and hiding the other end of
the chain.  We could provide a spinner toggle control for the Spiral pattern
on the toolbar for the touch-pad, mouse, & keyboard interfaces.

Starring activites in the journal to appear in Home makes sense. And<br>
the spiral as overflow for the ring, if executed well, seems like a<br>
good idea in order to preserve the general UI metaphor. We should test<br>
a range of different variations to end up with a design that is both<br>
efficient and visually elegant.<br>
<br>
I think we should also investigate a scalable grid view with<br>
thumbnails--I still believe this would make for a great counterpart to<br>
the ring/spiral. I&#39;ll look for the original mockups and start<br>
exploring this idea further...<br>
