 Baked.
One final term which appears a lot on the HalfBakery is "baked." While the HalfBakery is ideally a place to suggest questionably good ideas which have not yet been created (in other words, half-baked ideas), sometimes an idea turns out to have already been invented.
In the upper-left corner of the screen is the half-croissant (the HalfBakery's logo), and a randomly-selected expression such as "a few slices short of a loaf," or "carpe demi." Below this is a list of links to various other important parts of the HalfBakery.
While the HalfBakery's design and its theme encourage users to contribute some interesting material, it is the HalfBakers themselves who have had the largest hand in making the HalfBakery what it is. You can already see that members of the HalfBakery are mostly jovial and rarely serious.

Halfbakery is a loose forum for folk who probably have spent too much time looking for parking places, stop-and-going in commuter traffic and otherwise participating in the stew of every-day driving.

 Bernie DeKoven's FunLog: Halfbakery
Probably nowhere as closely as in Halfbakery, an online, collaboratively authored collection of ideas and inventions that are, well, half-baked.
Without the requirement of having actually to build, draw, trademark, patent, or even test out ideas, Halfbakery leaves its contributors and readers deliciously free to invent the sublimely ridiculous.
The Halfbakery is a community effort, supporting dialogue as wholeheartedly as it supports creativity and sheer silliness.

 WRT: Writer Response Theory » Blog Archive » An Art Concepts Forum
I imagine these posts of mine as entries for art rather than inventions to the Halfbakery, “a communal database of original, fictitious inventions, edited by its users.
It was created by people who like to speculate, both as a form of satire and as a form of creative expression.” Alternately, I imagine them as conceptual art sketches yearning to be realized, which might perhaps yet be implemented with the right request to Lazyweb.
Lazyweb and Halfbakery are two good instances of places where one can post projects or dreamed-up inventions without doing a market analysis or prior art search first - in fact, those forums are a good quick sanity check for existing market alternatives or prior art.

To this are excepted only a few small private projects which were created before WhyNot and later posted on the site(like the admirable online family album), changes in WhyNot's features, and one vague hint about an intention to use pre-delivery e-mails.
I believe this flaw is structural: it is in the whole format of the site, patterned too closely after halfbakery.
This halfbakery format is well suited to speculative thinking, after a fashion, but it provides no mechanism at all for real-world development.

It is assumed that because the entire page plus commentary was open to public view at the halfbakery (and also is mostly viewable at archive.org), there will be no objections if it becomes open to public view via "Metaphysical Publications".
Do keep in mind that this IS the metaphysical/philosophical region of the Halfbakery, so based on the title of the essay, there should be no complaints about the topic of the last paragraph.

Excuses ring hollow in my ears: "This has never been done before" and "Paintings and books and doors are rectangular, not circular" and "Everything would have to be reformatted, reprogrammed, revised" and "Why would you even want a circular computer screen?"
On the halfbakery site, there is a comment about minimizing a screen, on a spherical monitor, into little spheres that would accumulate like bubbles.
Even pointless revolutions are more fun than stodgy old status quo "don't rock the boat" traditions.
