First, I really like the effect the author has achieved. It's very pretty.

Now for a bit of whimsy. It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, a thousand words uses far less bandwidth. What if we go full-tilt down the energy saving path, replace some images with prose to describe them? What would articles and blog posts look like then?

I know it's not practical, and sending actual images saves a lot of time and effort over trying to describe them, but I like the idea of imagining what that kind of web might look like.
