The one page complainingissilly.com has actually been out for quite sometime now. I’m just a few years late in documenting it here.

This project was a nice opportunity to experiment with (what were then cutting edge) CSS properties such as @font-face and CSS gradients. ‘Act’ is set in The League of Movable Type’s freely available League Gothic font, whereas that little play button on the bottom right corner activates a fun lava lamp like animation on the entire page.

Also included are desktop and smartphone wallpapers for those of you that would rather not forget.
