Project Euhis a self-proclaimed multimedia weblog with many "web experiments" and something I never though I'd see, a curved scroll bar. But that's just the beginning. Click on euh? to load a random experiment.

I like this one. I could literally look at it all day. It's especially fun to try and figure out which pointer is really yours. Otherwise all the arrows remind me of those health class films of sperm swimming upstream. Only here they seek not an ovum but a button to make them complete.

That's a fun site, although beware of the page that says "Use only in Case of Emergency". I guess I was warned.

And I SO want one of those curved scrollbars! Where do I get one?

The scroll bar is done in flash. Most of what I've seen so far is done in flash or shockwave, and done really well, too - no loading times (except for Preloader ;) and breezy little experiments. The links page is cute - I expect to see a screen capture of dgeiser13's post on there very soon.

The window pong game is so simple, but so good (probably could kill at the next 5k contest). It seems like with the proliferation of blogs that people don't screw around with the web much anymore, so I'm happy to see someone launching a new experimentation site like this. Very fun stuff.

Whoo! Fun! And I was happy to see that the results from clicking the "Use only in Case of Emergency" link didn't stick around too long. Just long to panic me into thinking they weren't going to go away.

(Evanizer: Sure we were warned, but come on! A big, shiny, yellow button? Who's not going to click that!)

Heh. You'd have to be a fool not to click that.

And, amazingly enough, it didn't even cause IE5 to crash. Very elegant.

Sadly, the Window pong doesn't seem to work in IE5 on Mac OSX. But then, what does?

This one freaked me out at first.

Very nice website.

I rather enjoyed the Google interface. Hee.

I just realized that the link sometimes pulls up a fake hotmail interface...either way, way cool site.

Great fun, but there went my morning at home.

Yeah, weblogs are kind of killing design. How many ways are there to post "entries" though, that are marginally useable and still look cool?
