That little iamcal graphic up in the corner is actually made of all separate little squares...

How pointlessy cool!

please let me know if i'm wrong but I'm assuming that the reason behold this is two-fold:

1: It looks cool, all pixelated and stuff
2: It keeps the load time down to near nil

and if Cal would like to elaborate on any other reason why, I'm sure we'd all like to hear, plus he could also say, "no Sul you dopey bastard, I done it for, so and so reason!"

pretty close sul, but point 3 is the main motivation:

3: The logo can change color entirely without having to do any graphics work, so each color scheme has a logo to match.
