Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.

Anyone know what the music visualizer is?

It's certainly not the real one[0], but looks a lot like the Winamp AVS/MilkDrop stuff. My Inspect Element -fu was however insufficient for getting a closer look.

Is there any chance the music section is legal? I would love to be able to put songs on my own pages, but I assumed it would be a legal issue? Is there a way to license songs at a reasonable price.

Last week I was thinking exactly about how I missed the old xbox interface. "Would be cool" I thought, to build a modern web UI nowadays.

Now, I see this :)

Was really hoping this was going to be the Blades interface

Very nice. Still I was hoping for the original XBox UI.

It's cool, but I don't really see a portfolio on the portfolio site.

Introduces a lot of lag on the mouse pointer.

In FF on Linux using mouse scroll between tiles is overclocked.

Man you really nostalgia pilled me. It's lovely and a work of art.

What's the deal with the audio delay showing up for button taps until the icons have loaded?
