2.3MB of data for a one page site! While its pretty that is crazy big!
I wouldn't say it's crazy big. Bigger than 99% of one page sites? Sure. I've got a 50mbps connection and even with a far slower one, this would only take a few seconds to load.
Impressive html5/css3 clock; no Flash.

#22The most impressive bit of HTML5 I have run across lately is turntable.fm. Yes, I'm probably late to this particular party, but I was very impressed when I realized the interface is done entirely in HTML5.
So, to turntable.fm devs: good job!

#23Also, in chrome, try to inspect the DOM using the built-in inspector: the diaphragm will close. If you click again inside the window, it'll open again. Pretty impressive.
Actually, if you even just switch tabs for a few seconds and return it does the same.

It is a protocol relative url. This way if you are looking at the site over https then the assets will also come down over https.
I was pondering today why no-one really knows about or even uses it. As a bit of a general question to everyone, did old browsers not support it or something? Or do people prefer using relative urls over absolute style ones?
I had to be told, years back, so I think it's just an assumption.
Also, for those pesky secured sites that have unsecured static assets on a separate server, it might be that those servers aren't configured for SSL.

#26Thanks for adding the -moz prefixes too! (Yes, Firefox supports CSS3 animations now; most web developers only use the -webkit prefixes though, sadly. Glad to see this is changing.)

this can be greatly improved (losslessly) using http://punypng.com / http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/ / downloadable PNG recompressing software. I tried it on several files on this site and some decreased in size by more than half.

You just have to get around the fact that they don't seem to be handling scaling very well and, as a result, the site becomes defunct every few minutes.
Re: Impressive html5/css3 clock; no Flash.
#29Although unbelievably impressive. This kind of shows me the opposite of what the site was going for. Although the new protocols give us a lot more freedom of expression with animation support. The browser rendering time is just not there yet. Any browser that can handle that clock in a reasonable amount of time also has flash on it.
