    There was a website many years ago that when opened, it looked like an online retailer in Germany for all sorts of things, similar to Walmart. When you scrolled around it would behave as you’d expect, but once you left it alone for half a minute or so, suddenly every element of the page became a Rube Goldberg machine.

    A stack of pots and pans or something would fall down to the next row and send something hurtling across the screen, on and on, with the page moving up and down as needed. I wish I’d had the thought to record somehow it at the time. Only other thing I’ve seen like it was an old Google Chrome commercial on YouTube that used the whole page and not just the video player.

    I’ve looked a few times for some hint of what I remember, but it might only live in the archive of my memories now.
