Guimp.com claims to be the world's smallest web site. And it probably is.
Jakob must be spinning in his crypt.
You don't have to scroll, though.

Hee hee. So small! I like the Google searchbox.

Darn! I missed the searchbox. I did play the world's smallest game of pong, tho. Vewy cute.

The world's smallest game of Space Invaders is perhaps a little *too* small, but I love the rest of it.

I got 27 in the space invaders. Then my eyeballs exploded from playing on a hi res 19 inch monitor. Ack. Not advised..

Finally, a use for the Windows Magnifier accessory.

And is this one of the biggest?

I can't do the maze - I keep getting disoriented. But I did win money in the teeny tiny slot machine. The html version has pics of famous people - I recognize Jim Morrison and Elvis (I think) but not the others. Totally adorable site.

Amazing stuff. Almost reminds me of when high-concept conceptual artists design websites and end up looking like fools: "We create a site that fits the most information into the smallest space in order to draw a contrast between screen space and information space and blah blah blah and famous images still identifiable blah blah blah boring boring suck."

Except it was totally better.

(I did, by the way, find the Google box and the still-recognizable famous images the most interesting.)

1600 x 1200...totally useless!!

Clicking thru to the 'London Design Collective' homepage I have to say that it is so refreshing to see a young British design co. using tightly tracked Helvetica Heavy for their logo...

...and if that isn't a recommendation, I don't know what is.

Hrm.
Just realized. I wonder what would happen if you viewed the place through Mark Daggett's Icon Browser. Gotta try that out later.

Kick. Ass.

for the html & flash, kicking the magification up to 900% in Opera really helps. :)
