Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

direct link to words on Skritter, and Easter egg?

I was trying to get a direct link to a character on Skritter to illustrate my point about the nice context provided by Skritter/web. I wasn't too successful. It would be nice if there was an easy way to point by URL to a specific word or character on Skritter. But maybe you don't want to allow that?

Anyway when I sort of linked to the character 際 like this:

I was very amused to see Leonardo DiCaprio staring back at me!

Haha, that's cool. I wonder if there are any other movie references hidden around the site...!

ah yes, thank you @グリッチ I forgot about that way to link to a character. Very helpful!

For example, here's a link to directly check that the stroke order for 母 is correct now (it seems to be):

@Kai: That's an eccentric flavor easter egg. Shouldn't be hard to figure out how to come across it when using the vocab popup...
