This was a response to a Hacker News comment asking me what I've been up to since 2010. I'm posting it here since HN rejects it with "that comment is too long." I suppose that's fair, since this ended up being something of an autobiography.

Explanations

This script will get the computed background color of your body, and then will create shadows darker than your background (if you have a light background), or lighter than your background (if you have a dark background). If the body does not have a background, the script will take 160 as the default value for red, green and blue.

It will then add a border, a box-shadow, a padding and a margin to each element of your page, and will use the cool rotate3d css function to tilt your website.

update

This fork by rebane2001 is an improved version of the script!
