If I ever get as good as Joakim and the Double You crew, I could die a very happy guy. These two new sites for Menta and the Audi A2 pretty much blow my mind.

That boy's got talent. Having recently seen a good looking splash screen put together in a matter of minutes, it's the creative talent that separates the good, the bad and the ugly.

I’ve seen this guy’s site before, and I really love the fact he buckled down and used dhtml to achieve all these effects instead of flash.

I'm going to go home now and stop making web pages.

I always wondered what Brian Wilson was thinking when he heard Sgt. Pepper's.

I guess these are good, but the DHTML gets screwy on my browser, some pages won't work on IE 5 for mac, and the Audi page can't tell that I have Flash installed.

Which is a bummer . . .

Damn, Bison....that was a beautiful analogy.

Hee. On the double-you site, on a PC, try to right-click to view source.

In what concerns alfadar's post, I had the same problem too.
I've got the latest version of Flash installed, have visited a ton of Flash sites during the past few days and I never had a problem.
Until, an Audi page came up saying that I don't have Flash installed...

Bison, Brian Wilson wrote "Pet Sounds" a year before Sgt. Pepper's [an album Paul McCartney has often said was largely influenced by Pet Sounds]. Or did you mean something else in your analogy?

It was still a good analogy. (facts be damned) :)
