Jarrod's Happy Land of Gratuitous Animation
We've all seen it. We've all been out web browsing at one time or another, minding
our own business, when suddenly, without us asking for it and without us being warned
--there it is. Stuff moving around in our web browser windows. Animation in an
infinite loop. Sometimes hitting the stop button will kill the little smiley faces
and spinning globes; sometimes they cannot be stopped. When we point to a link on
the current page and look at the bottom of the window to see the web address that
clicking on this link will take us to, all we see is "2% of 284K (7 bytes per second),"
because the smiley faces and spinning globes will not stop their eternal loading.
And I will not stop my eternal loathing of this gratuitous animation.
Nevertheless, I have compiled a collection of such animation. I would like to present
a much larger collection, but the files are so big that they quickly eat up the disk
space quota on my Unix account. Therefore, I have had to carefully pick and choose
what I believe to be the most gratuitous of web animation.
And now, if you are foolish enough to ask for it, click here
to enter Jarrod's Happy Land of Gratuitous Animation. You have been warned.
