Animation gives web pages something that even the slickest magazine or book cannot have, but... we also find that too many scrolling banners, flashing icons, animations and the like can be obnoxious and distract from the page.
The web is still primarily based on text and the real strength of web pages lies in hyperlinks that guide us down a path or allow us to choose our own path. Even though we like animations a lot, we'll try to limit them to places where they help illustrate a point or add an element of surprise....

The animations on this page are not Java or anything like that. They are animated Gif images that can be viewed using the current generation of browsers. For more information and download sites for animated Gif's check out these links.

We also like the pages created by Alchemy
Mindworks. In addition to animation samples and provocative
commentary they offer a simple but effective shareware image
