meat and gravy

In the other half of my day, I am a painter. For about half of a year, I've been capturing snapshots of my work on some digital prints. I've been just showing these running down a page, but I haven't been happy with it:

Last night I pulled this work together using dHTML:
http://hexane.org/slider/artwork.html
The programming is nothing too exciting: script.aculo.us is cool, browsers are still annoying, but all it takes is a few hours of fiddling.

The insight for me was: given interesting enough data (meat), all you need is an evening of whiz-bang javascript (gravy) to put together something nifty.

Of course, if you prefer the running-down-the-page version, let me know. That way, I can go to bed earlier tomorrow night :-)
