To answer the question you're not asking anymore, it came integrated with our new article system, so only we have access to it at this juncture. :)

I was confused until I saw the "Source" button on the top left. Then all became clear! Especially the coolness.

Ohh... I thought you were asking why you don't see it when you edit posts here.

There's a good possibility, though for now it's only for editing articles and with the new article system (which we haven't unveiled yet) only admins can edit articles. I'm hoping to see other hacks, like the journal hack, integrate it eventually, though. Or maybe one day I'll be able to do that myself. :)

It's very impressive. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to get a browser (and especially several different browsers) to work like that.
