Snow Stack shows off Safari's CSS visual effects

If you're not excited about the potential of updated CSS and HTML standards support in the newest WebKit browsers, you might be after you check out Snow Stack.

Snow Stack is a demo of some slick visual effects using just HTML, WebKit CSS effects, and some Javascript. To see the live demo, you need to be running Snow Leopard and Safari, or Leopard and the latest nightly build of WebKit.

Snow Stack shows off a 3D wall of Flickr photos - if you're familiar with the Cooliris photo viewer, it looks a lot like that - and all the animation, reflection and transformation is done in CSS. If you're not on a Mac or can't run a new version of Safari, there's also a YouTube video that shows Snow Stack in action.

For developers, the source code and some useful development notes are available on the webpage, so you can check out how the demo was built.
