#2Neat, but:
1) What's up with everyone trying to implement this PARTICULAR effect? I'm not saying that fixed-positioned, above-the content menu shall stay unique to Path. But there's no point in copying the same animation, arc of icons, rotation, etc. "Good artists copy, great..." and all this jazz: please steal, and by stealing, make it your own. Now you just copy.
2) The effect has a common CSS bug, where page flashes after animation. I'll send a fix as pull request, but just in case you didn't know how to fix this, the trick is setting 3d-transform(0, 0, 0) on parent object. This activates GPU for that element, and it no longer flashes.

#3The menu is nice, but I'm wondering why no one has implemented the scrolling clock indicator in javascript/CSS. That is actually genuinely useful in some cases. The same goes for an alphabet indicator.
The closest I've seen is sausage.js. http://christophercliff.github.com/sausage/
