I discovered this website 4 years ago, a lot of the animations at that time served as my inspiration for learning more advanced javascript - great to be reminded of this collection, and to see the new demos that he's been producing - love the blend of technology / artistic creation.
pretty nice to see this is always alive !
This guy was already doing some crazy javascript experiments long before the canvas.
About the website strange name and url... Since the creator is a french guy, I think it's because it sounds a bit like a way of pronouncing DHTML in french with a strange accent :-) (maybe it's the southern accent, dunno)
