1. Yowza!
Inexplicably, I miss that sort of exuberant DIY Dada. You don't see websites that are SO DAMNED HAPPY YOU STOPPED BY!!! anymore.

I like the Blender screenshots halfway down the page. They have no reason to be there, but somehow Yvette thought they were too good to leave out. That's great.

6. Have you checked out the Blender 2.5 beta builds?
Totally different interface. I'm holding out on tackling it again until 2.5 is released because I already know I'll have to relearn just about everything....

I hope hope hope they integrate Yaf(a)ray or something like it this time. Global illumination is just too good a thing to not support natively.

3. HELLO I LIKE PINK!

Ya know I stared at that a few minutes, and I don't think I could do that on purpose if I tried.

5. Haw! I don't think you could, either
It takes someone who's truly one with their own mad vibe to make pixels riot like that.

I'm looking at archives of Bud Uglly, the old spoof of bad design, and they don't fare well in comparison. They have an inauthentic stiffness, like a jazz combo at the Holiday Inn lounge.

4. Over 1,200,000 hits. The design seems to work rather well. (nt)

8. LOL - I tried to validate the HTML but got an error
The validation tool told me "The maximum number of errors was reached. Further errors in the document have not been reported." That was after about 100 errors were shown and it was only 1/5 of the way through the HTML.

The thing is: even if the site has 1.2 million hits, very few of those were from people who eventually became customers. Instead, they were probably from people like us, browsing to it just to check out its total suckitude.

Awful - just awful.

9. And the neighbors didn't like the music.
Why so loud? And what did it have to do with the site anyway?

11. Boy Howdy..
That looks like some Facebook pages I see my grandkids and other younger relatives looking at..

It kind of reminds me in some bizarre way of a Checkered Demon Comix..
