Dance, Foxkeh, Dance

From Wikipedia:

Canadian art student Deidre LaCarte, who was competing with her best friend and sister to see who could generate the most traffic, designed The Hampster Dance in August 1998 as a homage to her pet hamster, named Hampton Hamster. Using four simple animated GIFs of hamsters and other rodents, repeated dozens of times each, and a loop of background music embedded in the HTML, then a fairly new browser feature, she named the site Hampton’s Hampster House and had Hampton declare his intent to become a “web star”. Until January 1999, only 800 visits were recorded (about 4 per day), but without warning, that jumped to 15,000 per day. The Web site spread by e-mail, early blogs, and bumper stickers, and was eventually even featured in a television commercial for Internet Service Provider Earthlink.

Mozillian Alex Polvi, of the Firefox crop circle and Firefox robot build fame, is leaving Mozilla, and as a final contribution to all things Mozilla, and to celebrate 10 years of people’s insanity, he’s published a Foxkeh themed rendition of this infamous 90’s classic.

Can you stand two full pages of pure Foxkeh cuteness? Go figure. (But you may want to turn down your speakers before)

Thanks and best wishes to Alex on his future projects!
