A Blue Perspective: SlashGlobe: A 3D CSS experiment

See the neon-spinny-3D-globe experiment

The third dimension isn't my strong suit; I'm fine with pixels but not with voxels. To start combatting this I thought I'd have a play around with the 3D CSS transforms that are available in the latest Webkit browsers (Chrome & Safari; sorry Firefox!)

What I set out to achieve was a neon-spinny-globe thing and I pretty much got there. I even managed to throw some Max Headroom aesthetic into the mix.

This experiment comes as-is, with all sorts of browser exclusions (and is best viewed in Chrome), so don't bug me if it doesn't work for you. Otherwise, enjoy the neon spinnyness.
