I just had to check out this site when I saw the entertaining url in my google referrals. If you like spinning stuff you may enjoy my iPhone bookmarklet which does almost the same thing except at your control.

Comment on Alex Girón’s CSS3 Solar System Animation by Vance Decker

If you’ve decided to be a stubborn Luddite and include Pluto as a planet, then at least put forth some effort at being respectable and consistent on the matter.

You should include all the other planetoids (yes, yes, officially termed ‘dwarf planets’ *cringe*)

Science is not a religious text. It changes as we discover new things or acquire new methods of analysis. In a way, it’s similar to how CSS has had to change in order for you to build your CSS Solar System. ;)

Can’t you have square pieces in a jigsaw puzzle? Hmmm, well it’s some kind of puzzle… what would you call it?

Hi guys, thanks for posting, one thing though, it’s not a jigsaw puzzle, at least I don’t think it is. Jigsaw means weird cut out borders.

A lovely effect. Throw in some text-shadow and box-shadow for some added fun:

A Menger Sponge is a relatively simple 3D fractal: in a nutshell you take a cube, slice it in 3 in all dimensions and nuke the central pillar and repeat the operation ad infinitum on all the 20 smaller cubes you just got. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge

Also JSpongy weight 512 bytes not 521 ;) Any how I had a second look at the other day and size optimized it, for real. It’s down to about 321 bytes and I’m sure I gain squeeze a few more bytes. – http://www.p01.org/releases/512b_jspongy/jspongy_hardcore.htm

Thanks for the link! Love your domain name :)
