Metatropolis homepage at Tobias Buckell Online

Journal Entry

Metatropolis homepage

Audible.com set up this super fancy flash-based website home page for Metatropolis. It’s groovy. I tend to knock on Flash a lot, but it loads quick and stays out of my way (of course, I’m biased by all the pretty related to a project *I* worked on, so don’t mind me). There is no waiting for a flash splash page or surprise audio, which goes a long way toward making it flash I like. Ditto the speed.

Seriously. Is pretty.

I am LOVING Metatropolis!
Got through Jay Lake’s story today and almost started crying in the P.O. Now listening to yours and I’m annoyed that I can’t listen to ti all the time. Darn family!
This is a really cool project! Thanks for writing some awesome stuff for it!
