I need a very aliased picture of an envelope circling a globe. Then we will have fully regressed to 1996.

The ads displayed in the home page http://css-tricks.com/ are not Google ads (or any other middle man, for that matter). Do you think this practice is on the rise?

Huh? It's an ad inserted via JS through BuySellAds; it's a network of niche blogs where you can buy ad space directly on a particular site, instead of the network matching your ad with content contextually, or doing a category run.

It's a very unsophisticated way to deliver ads, it requires more advertiser intervention, and it costs more. But the publisher has more control over asset display and it looks more legitimate.

My bad. I thought there was no middle man since the link pointed to a "clean" URL. Thanks for the explanation.

Resizing the page throws off the animation somewhat.

Am I the only one who read the heading on the actual page as 'Girculate'? That arrow on the end of the C is a little confusing.
wdewind
nope, especially makes me think of "gyro"

maybe make the first C the same as the second C

Wow, simply amazing, very well done to the author! I'm not sure where I could use this - to take the slightly cruel point of another commenter, if Geocities were in use today I think their users would be all over this - but it's a very neat effect, and I'm sure someone will find a snazzy user interface use for it!

It actually looks really great, but i have many fears as animations such as this this grow more popular. Are we gearing up for geocities 2.0?
