Brussel Spaceship

As far as I can remember, Brussel Spaceship were the first live band I ever saw. They were being supported by Steve Temple and the Prudent Moves. Brussel Spaceship(later known as Brussel) were a stunning band with some insanely good songs.

I was introduced to the band just as they released Norman's Big Surprise, so those songs will always have a soft spot with me. My favourite record, though, was Slowdown, which really captured their live sound and also featured their best tracks (in my opinion), 'Fluorescent Hat' and 'Going Home'.

Background Animation With JavaScript and CSS

Creating a cool background effect on your web page is really easy and thanks to the innovation of the CSS working group, you can now create really smooth animations using JavaScript to handle events and CSS to do the heavy lifting.

A few years back, you would need to get highly mathmatical to get a smooth animation and you'd end up cranking out lines of code or resorting to including a library in order to make things look nice. This is no longer the case, so chuck your jQuery, mootools and scriptaculous in the bin and crank out great animations in just a couple of lines of code.
