I recently told Ross about a desire I’ve long held to try a Flash background for our website.  I hadn’t seen it elsewhere, and I wasn’t even sure it was possible. Ross committed himself to the task, and sent me an email entitled, “I got it!” later that day. Take a peek at the link–and you have to look closely for it’s very lightly colored and subtle animated background (http://thunderdev.com/flashbg ) along with his comment.
I have no idea if this is old news on the web, but for us, it’s new–and pretty darned cool from my talented artist!
