It's funny, now that Javascript interpreters are getting fast and decent effects can be written in Javascript you start seeing lots pages like this. I say it's funny because it reminds me of the explosion of similar animations that were created in Flash a few years around the time that Flash 5 and 6 came out. Animations that were mostly cool and revolutionary-seeming because of the technology rather than the actual content. I'm not knocking this type of creation--I was really fun time to be working in Flash with so many 'breakthroughs.' Now it's cool to see a similar surge in creativity happening in a language that is even more ubiquitous than ActionScript.
