I have issues with these types of sites. The site assumes that my version of "Happy or Sad" is in exact conformity with yours. What I might find to be uplifting music, another might find annoying or depressing.
While this might be a unique way of mixing various interactive genre together, it still makes some rather broad assumptions about all people.

I was expecting little greasy hamburgers, so now my mood is shitty.

Also, I'm extremely pleased to see someone has registered penfieldmoodorgan.com and stocked it with actual content.

Yeah, I don't know about how they are rating the "moods" - I put things over to maximum Calm and immediately got a funky hip-hop style of music. Not what I would consider calm.

I couldn't find a making-of document. Is there any info about how they're determining mood? I'm assuming meaning is derived from the keywords or metatags attached to each image/video/soundfile.

My mood is Please Update your Flash Player. That's funny, because I'm pretty sure I installed the latest mood when it came out.

Setting the sliders to both "sad" and "nostalgic" triggers ragtime piany music over images of mushroom clouds.

Dammit cortex, if you dial for greater venom then I’ll dial the same. I’ll dial the maximum and you’ll see a thread that makes every thread we’ve had up to now seem like nothing. Dial and see; just try me.

i think you gotta hit 'refresh stream' every time you make a change.

Hah. I was able to adjust the sliders to what I thought would make house music come out, and it did. However I don't think there's a setting for doomcore.

Nice idea, but as others have said, insufficient content range which doesn't remotely evoke mood. On the music side, De Wolfe's production music database does it far better with a variety of keyword-categorised mood music: check out, for instance, Tense, Forces Beyond and Autumn Theme.

I wouldn't mind seeing how they're handling metadata under the hood on this stuff; are they retagging content to fit the five-sliders architecture, or are they working with existing tagging they already use for their content?
