I rarely, if ever, click through banners. In fact I was going to post something making fun of the banner below I found it annoying as the GPS usage only went up and there were no postings of celebrity sightings it had a pseudo real feel. I'm not entirely sure why I clicked through maybe I thought there was something local going on but I'm really glad I did as I happened upon a nice piece of art.
Look at it, other than the Sprint promos which as is my usual practice I'm ignoring, there is some amazing fun stuff going on. In fact I don't even know what the page is trying to sell me. What I do know is that it is full of odd factoids, little cranes, pong, music, moving numbers, and music. There is some ambient music in the background as a women's voice says things like, "13,600 letters are being mailed each now, Your body just made 50 million new cells....your heart is beating now, and now, and now". Plus it seems to come in different flavors. The link above is to the page I clicked through. Going to http://now.sprint.com takes you to a different version of the site and a widget. It also led me to discover the wonderful Atlas Obscura, which is a kind of geographical Ripley's Believe it or Not (and probably already a book too), from the Boing Boing link on the top left which I think is some kind of rotating RSS feed.
