Click judiciously; the site is called
instant epilePSY and not without reason. If you need annoying and occasionally baffling animated GIFs culled from Hungarian music videos, however, you'll be well served. (
Some of the
loopings are fairly clever.)

The
<video tag>, as defined by the HTML5 spec, is an element "used for playing videos or movies". Which
codec those videos or movies are in is currently undefined, with the two contenders being the free open source
Ogg Theora and the proprietary
H.264. With the unveiling of
Internet Explorer 9 both Microsoft and Apple are supporting H.264 in their browsers, and
comparisons of the standards seem to bear out H.264 as the better of the two. However Mozilla have taken a stance against incorporating H264 into Firefox on the grounds that it is
patented and has to be licensed. Arguments are now being made
for and
against Mozilla sticking to its ideals.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball points out that Firefox already supports proprietary formats such as GIF.
Um, perhaps not the best example.

There are many picture blogs, but there is only one
SidewaysPony.
As one regular user so aptly
put it, this ingeneously simple site is "the most repulsively, exquisitely, disastrously, wonderfully addictive little corner of the internet." [poss. nsfw]

Be mesmirised by a very complex .gif involving blue balls in a machine. Then, when you've had enough, check out
this rather silly but also tragic accompaniment.

The American Institute of Graphic Arts offer a selection of useful symbols in eps and gif formats
for free download. Are there any other sites offering similar symbols?

Bugnosis A web bug detector to find out who's using single-pixel GIFs to relay information to third parties. Distributed by the folks at the
Privacy Foundation.
I've long wanted to have this information without mucking through the HTML source. Now that it's available, I don't know if I really want to know.
