Our comments:
This unconventional design walks on the thin line between awe and frustration. The page layout is literally cut into pieces, and you can't see it all unless you click on "leave message". The size of the browser window changes on-the-fly depending on the menu option you choose. In fact if you play with the experiments on the site, you can move the window around with your mouse or even try to catch it (sounds stupid but believe it or not some of those experiments can be fun). The background changes constantly. There is a progress bar showing how much time left for the next background. That's interesting for a moment. But eventually the not-so-happy signals coming from your poor perception system will force the central control to move your hand toward the close button. Ah, that's better.
