i dig it. seems like the splash page is a little "of topic" from the actual site though.... but it looks cool none the less

where did you get the 3d exploding graff background from?

dude, verdana? Come on. Use a font with some character. I lie the pixel font on th eload and the splash page is great. But the text on the guts makes me not want to look at it. I'd go woth something a lot more modern.
And, the repeated squres in the bkgd. are a little "buzzy"
But, great site overall, just need to make it consistent feel. word up. good job.

I'm scared to death of typography because I don't know it very well. Trust me, If I knew more, I'd be doign better with fonts. I can probably see what better fonts to use.
I really had no better idea for the splash page...I have several 'pages' planned like that one. It's obviously an entrance into something..so the others are similar in that respect.
As for the 3d exploding thingy, I made that in illustrator. My plan was to make this version the lowbandwidth versino of the site and have a larger high bandwidth version so I made this crazy - image...that's the background image in the movie..the actual image is about 1200 wide...I think I was going for that gmunk-like humongo-site style.
I'm not really diggin the square background either...it seemed like it would work in my head but. I'm inclined to use the green to black gradient like on the splash page.

Yeah, good call on using the gradient. It will be a smoother transition. I like the splash.
- xaoscontrol0
yeah, the more I look at it, the more I think I'll do that
