interesting image effect for Firefox

I saw this on a web site today:



Which, when it received a mouseover event changed to:



Very nice use of "-moz" styles for Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers:

border-width: 2px 2px 9.6px;
border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
border-style: solid; padding: 0px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0pt 0pt 4px rgb(170, 170, 170);
-moz-transform: rotate(-4deg) scale(1.3);

Web Site Language Choices

I've not blogged in quite a while, so I thought I'd dive right in with a short and sweet post just to get started again.

Today I needed to visit the TAM Airlines site, one that's useful for me to use while living and traveling in Brazil. As always, the site first appears in Portuguese and I need to change it to English in order to fully understand everything on the site. The section of the page about changing the language reads:

SITE BRASIL (CHANGE COUNTRY)

That always strikes me as a logical challenge. I don't actually want to change to a site for another country, I want the site for Brazil, but in English. Still, I know that must be the link I should click to change the language, so I click it.
