Interesting site, it's fun to explore. It might be nice to display content inside the cell itself once clicked, or in a lightbox, as the back/forward through history is quite jarring.
Agreed. I'm probably not going to do a lightbox, but I need a much smoother way of going from one thing to the next.
Definitely not lightbox.
I actually like the homepage better because all the images are re-framed into the same square, producing a (kind of) random piece of the image.
It reminds me of some pop-art collage.
