I find this stuff extremely humorous... it all just seems like designers
are scared of going outside fundamental design prinicples for the
purpose of artistic manipulation of the interface.
All I'm saying is, Flash is great if you want to fuck with navigation in
ways you can't otherwise, and perhaps such changes in navigation are not
fundamentally 100% efficient but they can be more exciting, more
engaging, and more artistic.
