Hi Tom,
Thanks for the links and comments. I hope you found the articles on balance interesting.
I think maybe I'm more conservative than most. I like the att.com site and it's symmetry.
The burton.com site might actually be a little too creative for my liking. I think it's geared toward a different audience. It's definitely unique.
