In fairness, is there anything new here that wasn't a screensaver in 1996, except repacked as a script include to be a background on what would surely be a terrible website? I totally commend the effort they put into the screen saver controls (more polygons, more lines) but, is this what Flying Toasters died for? I was gonna say Tom Dowdy but that's just rude. People are probably right to slam this, and that's a considered decision and not driven by irritation or a generic grievance. It's so mundane I wouldn't have given it a second of thought or written a word about it if it wasn't here, but it's here.

It wouldn't be a terrible website. These animations are beautiful, some just need some power on the client. Like any font, color scheme, layout, effect ... awesome if properly implemented.
