Next it will cover "composition", which is about how to clearly define when it is appropriate to use a page template and when to use a particular animation or page transition or how to harness screen orientation.

also, the hoverovers/pop ups/toast for the download links draw way too quickly. i often times find myself having to scroll away from the, for example, mp4 link because the hoverover for mp3 file size covers it up. worse still is the hoverover for the "download ?" which covers the entire list. suggestion: have it pop up to to the left where it will only impact the video screen cap, something that the eye isnt payin attention to anymore anyway as its hit target/focus.
Nice...
