1/20th the size of 5k: the 256b competition
Most won't work on anything but Win/IE5+, and you have to download the (65.2Kb) .zip file, but ... wow.

That is some really interesting stuff. Here's the source code for a 198 byte color picker

Milo's the hardest workin' man in 256 bytes. "the don of dhtml" we should call him. He's a badass.

(Forgot to say that I originally found it from Milo's site — my favorite of his entries is "Spike": click it for more action.)
Tech-Satellite is genius for its exploitation of existing system resources; Mados-Plastic is a gorgeous effect that I have never seen before; and the two Iotic Moire entries are amazing: totally made of "_" and "/". (I also like the homage to two good 5k entries (1, 2) in Madros-Lightswitch and Hultgreen-I_am_insane.)
Hopefully they will be put online somewhere so they can be linked to directly.

awww damnit, deadline was a few hours ago. I have a Flash piece I could have entered (I'm surprised that there was only one in there).

Only problem is, filling 5120 bytes for this year's 5k compo is gonna be a real challenge - what am I going to do with all that space?! ^_^

Think of it as a luxury suite milo. Stretch out and be at home.

256 bytes? Hah! When I was a kid, we never had 256 bytes! We had to code our ecommerce portals backwards, carved into big rocks, using only 8 bytes! The kids of today...
