  I came looking forward to a rant about people using text-shadow for body text on the web. I left mildly amused, but ultimately disappointed.

  Woah, check out those angled sliders.

  Doesn't work correctly in FF 3.6 on a PC. Seems to be meant for webkit browsers only.

  The left hand drag buttons are inverted (When you grip one and drag right, it slides left). And my curiousity involving what the []wtf control is supposed to do is overwhelming.

  Interesting nonetheless, though.

  Needs a mothereffing repeating background image or pattern.

  One trick I use for circle-style gradient backgrounds is to have three sides of your gradient all end in the same color (you can use an inner shadow atop your gradient in PS for this) and then to pin the image to top/bottom/center with CSS attachment and positioning. Finally, set the page's background color to the same color as the end of your gradient.
