So, in my quest for a usable animated sidebar (see the most-recent Bootstrap post), I've decide Polymer may have more to offer than Bootstrap.
Let's see if we can get a static page working w/Polymer.
On my Mac (since that's where I happen to be at the moment):
brew install npm # Since I didn't already have it. npm install -g bower # Since I didn't have Bower
...and so on. It's pretty easy to get Polymer Starter Kit 1.1.1 working.
