Cute, but not much else.

I thought it was neat. Why you gotta piss on things, gyan?

I think it's great. I don't share some of the color associations though. Like yellow for youth? I mean I get the school bus tie in, but I don't generally put youth and yellow together. I know at one point they mention some multi-cultural aspects to color. I wonder if yellow for youth is a non-US cultural thing.

notsnot: It is neat ("cute"). The description induced a greater expectation than what finally the site turned out to be, that's all.

I thought that was terrific. I don't agree with all the word associations either but the transitions, animation, music... everything was spot on. Excellent stuff! Thanks madam

What a nicely done site. I don't agree with many of their interpretations either...but the site was really great.

Heh. Before I clicked on the comments, I was trying to find a polite way to say what Gyan said. It is fun. But I kept hoping for a little more. And the favorite-color crap was way below par compared with the smooth elegance of the rest of it.

Anyway, thanks, mjjj.
