materials and methods
in response to questions like "how did you do that?" or "what programs do you use?"

how did you do make those bubbles without using any images?
this is the power of css. the top and bottom of each "bubble" is really just a normal div which has a few progressively smaller divs on top of it as described at spiffy corners by greg johnson.

how didja make the text size change without using javascript?
melonfire describes the method quite well in an article from tech republic. it should be noted that the only reason a cookie is asked for from either of these sites is only to allow the user to set a different font size.

how is that full-screen effect done?
this tutorial at htmlite is rather clear. the only real difference is that there is no type on these full-screen pages of these arcane sites.

which computer voices are used to recite the poems?
text to speech software available for windows systems are responsible for the voices, although some need additional modification. the particular tts voices used to create the voices are:
gil martin = cmu kal diphone
yuko mjinga = lh michael minus 4 pitches
the shadowlord = lh michael through a zeus filter
anne "the one woman show" richard = lh michelle
brooke young = lh michelle plus 4 pitches
alister catharis = microsoft sam
alfred charles = microsoft mike
dr. taylor phd. = microsoft mary
daphne otto = microsoft mary through a chipmunk filter
old man kielbasa = opera high quality male
carol 2.0 = opera high quality female
n. sleauxdethe = opera male medium
"hot" karl love= analog x say it! pitch: 4500(low)/5506(high), speed: 25, no modulation nor cascade

what is flash player which plays the mp3 files?
wordpress audioplayer standalone. the jw media player and xpsf music player in button mode was previously used on these sites.

whoa. being able to change the background and the font size is cool!
yes, it is. learned this trick from rob ballou. sadly, there does not seem to be a cross-browser way to have multiple stylesheets switch with only plain links.

which camera?
there have been two: a canon powershot a300 and canon powershot a530.

how do you get the reviews to come up in that weird font?
by using the php + css dynamic text replacement method developed by joão makray. most other places achieve this effect through sifr, but using php and css is server-side and accessible while using flash is still client-side almost never truly accessible.
the weird font's name is nickelodeon and was designed by nick curtis.
