What's with your header?
It's just a weird idea I had for a dynamic, interactive header for an upcoming site redesign. It's utilizing Javascript (so it'll even work on an iPhone) to poll a MySQL database via AJAX. In much-less-geeky terms : you type in a quote and voila! It's posted on the site for all to see. You can even delete the quote you just posted and then post a new one. All without ever refreshing the page.
Anyway, have fun with it.
Did those people actually say these things?
Well, anything with the "(this quote was user-submitted)" qualifier is something typed in via this interface. The other quotes are actual quotes from people I've performed with or known professionally. I've got a few more I need to dig around and find, but for now it's "let's see what would happen if..." so I'm not really concerned about the lack of quotes right now.
...And what about the audio player?
I just thought if I'm gonna have my face on there, I should DO something with it. So, I decided to make it look like I'm jacked up with wires and powering a sound system in some dystopian cybernetic reality. Conveniently, I found the excellent jPlayer, allowing me to play audio by using common HTML links and custom jQuery handlers. From there, it was just a matter of making an animated GIF of my mouth as a background-image replacement (which apparently creeps some people out). The audio, unfortunately, doesn't work on iPhones just yet. Not sure if it ever will because of some weird security restrictions, but.. whatever. All my videos play on iPhones just fine :)
Yeah, but... does it work in IE6?
Yes. Everything functions identically in IE6, IE7, IE8, FF 1.0 - 3.0, Safari 1.0 - 4.0, Google Chrome and (as far as I can tell) Opera 9 and 10. That includes the transparent 24-bit PNGs and the rounded corners.
