webkit browsers have a cool CSS animation part. Shaun Inman is experimenting with it. Now imagin imagine a site where, to see new content you just rotate the page.

New Orleans was a great location – the food was excellent and the warm spring atmosphere will get you out of any winter doldrums you might be experiencing. New Orleans kind of reminds me of Las Vegas but with more history and a comfortably “worn-in” feeling. Anyway, I hope to post my notes on the presentations here shortly although it may occur after the move. Yes. We are moving. To an apartment with central air. Two summers in Michigan without it makes it a key selling point.
