Not photography, not nocturnal streakers, but rather a "Flash concept site" -- everything here is done in Flash, which helps to demonstrate what Flash can do for a web site. A friend of mine sent me to a particular page on the site: "Are you Smart or Stoopid?", which is featured on the Welcome page. Warning: don't click on that until you're fresh and ready for a fast-action quiz, since you have very little time to answer each question. The payoff: at the end it tells you how you rate on a bunch of trivia that the author thinks smart people should know -- compared to others who have taken the test. I'll only say I was quite pleased with my result. ;-)
