What happens when a skilled (Macromedia) Flash animation artist (a Flash-toonist?) applies his talent and creativity to the ‘shred’-guitar student’s 16th note triplet exercises?

i have been keeping a log of all of my research as i learn more about web development. it includes everything from PHP to MySQL, CSS, XHTML and Valid code, Apache and IIS, and more. There are a few almost off-topic entries, but i have tried to stay true to the reason i created it– and that is to record my research and learning so that, if in the future i forget how to code something in PHP, or forget how to construct an SQL query, etc, i will hopefully have logged it here at the Web Developer Pocket Reference so that I can take advantage of the convenient reference in the future. If someone finds the information there to be useful, then i’m glad that my research has helped you out too!
