Ye Olde Browser Archive is an excellent resource if you ever need to QA your work in an older browser, you’ll find it there. It also reminds me back to a time when tables and font tags ruled. I’m glad times have changed.

Robot Dancing

by david on January 11, 2006

One of the most outstanding examples of The Robot dance. The real talent kicks in about 40 seconds into the video. Enjoy!

updated 20060527: The same dancer, David Elsewhere, has a starring role in this Volkswagen GTI commercial.
