Got a good laugh out of that. I might even actually buy one, haha. Wow, quite hilarious. I'm glad you saw the humor!

EDIT: All they have left is XL and I'm afraid that I am a small! Oh well...next time round!

Visually it's great, however, show this website to Jakob Nielsen (usability guru, search google), he'll point 1000 usability flaws. IMO being a graphic and multimedia designer, I think that the site is very "original", however, when people search for a webpage they are looking for information, simple as that, and this site does not make information the main subject, the true webdesigner challenge is to make a visually great website (which runs on 1024x768 or lower) without compromising the access to information, simple and straight forward.. and from that point of view, this site lacks some "easyness".
But's that just me.

jakob nielsen is satan. ignore anything and everything he says. his definition of "usability" is "badly designed crap"

the problem with this site is that you spend too much time reading things and not enough time looking at things. the actual work is buried in the references section with a confusing interface.

it looks nice though.

Usability Guru? Hmmm.

Sorry, but I couldn't think of any title worse than that to be 'honoured' with... lol - Just thinking about the word usability makes me yawn!

I agree...from a design perspective it's really terrific; though for web sites people don't generally want to wait...they want "instant information"!

Thanks for the link!

It was nice to look at, the art was great but like so many have said, navigation is more than painful - quite obtuse, actually.

More websites should be such acts of discovery.

There's a lot of beauty in this, our goal-oriented world.

You never know, the "obtuse" interface could just be a method of filtering out those he might not like to work with. 😉

I guess that good design must have a function, and a visually good site doesn't make it a good one, take the www.apple.com website, it's very eye pleasing and usable, what I'm trying to say is that complicated isn't always the answer. Simple and efective, pleasing to most users, this has to be the designer's goal.
You can't agree with everything that Jakob says, however, it was he that implemented most usability functions that you see in Flash, so, give the man some credit.
