Soh Tanaka has an excellent tutorial on how to make an animated page curl with jQuery! Previously I had only seen this done in flash. Definitely a great way to grab attention and add detail.

These IE6 Splash Pages are brilliant, I wish I could get away with using them. Some of the illustrative typography is really really good. If only I had that much time on my hands to be able to focus on doing something like that.
