This is an idea I toyed with but could never bring myself to implement once I realized its most popular probable use. If you want to email (see my profile), I have a suggestion for a domain name that does not involve the word "size" or "big."

Also, forget the "screen size" thing. Just use physical measurements in CSS ("width: 1cm") - it works remarkably well on a variety of browsers.

That fails rather dramatically (approximately .7x reality) on my machine.

If it furthers the matter, I'm on a ThinkPad T60p (15" UXGA), XP, Google Chrome (verified in Opera as well)

Pretty cool site, though. I was pleased that the several things I tested were sized as accurately as they were.
