I concur, I just went on the site with NoScript (bear in mind a lot of
security conscious people use it, and it's the 4th most popular Firefox addon)
and was presented with a pile of overlapping incomprehensible text. Until I
read Adam's post, I didn't even occur to me that it could have required
Javascript, so you might want to play with that a bit.
The only other suggestion I'd make is speed up some of the transitions between
the text a bit. It takes about 7 seconds for the first text to appear, by which
time I've lost interest. In general, I do like the general look and feel of
the page, and it does handle different screen sizes pretty gracefully.
