well, the text is too small and scrolls too fast for me to read it, and the flashing / blending text stuff doesn’t help either, but it certainly does look cool. the music loop thing is also cool. sorta like something the limey did (lost his url, doh).
in other design related news, i found out one of the kick-ass designers working at zenimax (parent company of vir2l), philipp koerber. funky site at plasticbag. not too fond of the many tiny popup window design philosophy though.
also, read the sympathy for the plug-in article on a list apart. pretty weak. there is room for rich media on the web, though. it’s called svg. not only will it have all the fancy doodads designers want to play with, and the tools to make them with, but it’ll make programmers, and web heads (like me) happy too – it’s xml-based language, which means it fits right into the dom. full scripting and document interaction! (not to mention the ability to churn out your own svg’s from custom scripts – fuck generator) so, if you’re reading pg 2 of the article where peter talks smugly about being able (oooh, i’m impressed) handle query strings and pass variables, get a load of this. um, yeah, so, that’s my spiel. rah rah for the semantic web
