Web Design
My drug? Sideways web pages
I must get some kind of endorphin rush from "different." I like to see people break the mold, send the conversation in another direction, turn the tables, innovate, and so on. Web pages that scroll sideways are no longer revolutionary but I still love the fact that they are so counter-intuitive. Here is yet another excellent example pointed to by my brother Jim (thanks buddy). Music ain't bad either.
If you're curious, here's the background image...

I like the intrigue of the fly-by imagery, but am more annoyed than anything that I can't slow the pace and see the illustrations in detail. (thanks for the artwork link)

Gotta say that I love it. I immediately brought co-workers over to view the action of the sideways feel. We all agreed that it was great. And even as it scrolled you did not get the sense of dizziness that coems with some site movements.
It may actually inspire me to get back to my site and actually do something with it, finally!

I love it! Have been intrigued by horizontal navigation for some time. Am currently working on a project with 4 quadrant navigation--horizontal and diagonal.
Cool and memorable.

I guess the way in which it scrolls is beyond me....how did they get it to do that? That's the real meat.
It's a beautiful and elegant site; does what it needs to, certainly.
