nice site


I agree - very nice. One thing I've noticed - what's the flash used for the titles?

A typo - "machince" under Current Projects - the text on that page doesn't fit. It's all in first person, whereas the rest is in third person.

hey all thanks for looking

I was afraid it would look pretty bad in IE6. I haven't even checked, and I'm actually trying to decide if we even care to support that aging joke of a browser. According to the logs the only IE6 hits since the site launched have been from Ozzu so I assume its not a huge user base in this case.

@alex89 Yes its using Flash (sIFR) for the titles to get nice things like the font I want and the text drop shadow. That site also uses Flash/javascript combo to play the demos inline instead of opening an external player.

Neat idea, I haven't used inline flash before :)

Is it less bandwidth-hungry than an image?

yeah its not too bad mostly because your just downloading the font and then flash creates the text dynamically (one file for any text). Its also extremely nice because you don't have to create an image for every use...

What browser/OS combo? Also how fast is your connection? Some of the demos are quite large and take a while to buffer...
