Mozilla Links - Foxkeh

The Foxkeh team let us down for a few days without a Foxkeh desktop wallpaper this September, but they have made it up with an updated Foxkeh theme compatible with Firefox 3.

You navigate, Foxkeh runs. What else could I possibly say? So, without further ado, here’s the theme:

Here’s the September wallpaper featuring Foxkeh doing baby-style skating, as usual, in a variety of sizes, with and without a September calendar.

Thanks Foxkeh team. We forgive you.

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.
