Awaiting Client Approval

One of my clients wanted a photogallery so I took the opportunity to play around with chromeless frames. I'm rather pleased with the way it came out. Just click on any of the links in the bulleted list and then navigate around. I've got the popup windows adapting to the size of the image, and with the chromeless windows everything ties together so much better than standard pop-ups.

Of course you can't do chromeless in Netscape, but it all degrades nicely, and the rest of the website degrades gracefully right down to text-only browsers and WAP devices. While at first blush this site seems very simple I've in fact really been been pushing how I can use the technology to get a really solid design under a wide range of condition.

And, as a diversion I whipped this up ( for shits and giggles )

I have broken Murphy's Law.

Or perhaps even the very laws of nature. How so? I spilled coffee on myself this morning and it did not land on my crotch - just a few drops on my knee and shoe. This, I believe, would be equivalent to dropped toast landing butter-side-up or a cat falling flat on it's back.

Which reminds me of proposed design for a prepetual-motion device I once heard about: strapping a peice of toast, butter side up, to the back of a cat and flinging them into the air. In theory the cat/toast device should hover a few inches of the ground, spinning indefinitely with no loss of rotational velocity or gravitational potential.
