Theodore Gray has one of these in his periodic table. This quote stood out to me:
"I've held this thing up to the strongest sources of radiation I have and the balls don't budge... I think it's safe to say that if you do ever see the balls drop, you should run, not walk, to wherever you think there might be less radiation around."

- maxbond 2y agoThis website design is absurd and I love it. It works really well as a document but the skeumorph of it being a physical periodic table with samples that's also a wooden desk gets so disconnected from a physical metaphor as you drill in. Like, my desk has a zoom control? It has that feeling of hand spun websites from the aughts maintained with such care, like a curio cabinet. It's been a long time since I just clicked around one of these. There's a lot to be said for the simple and minimalistic designs that are more conventional today, and I'm going to continue laying out my HTML that way, but in comparison they're woefully lacking in character.
