Chill out!

I love this relaxing website and like all great ideas is very simple:

It's a nice idea but I find it's difficult to avoid watching the timer count down and the words being there also keep nagging "read me again"!

Maybe they should make them more discreet and not placed centrally in the picture?

It would be so much nicer if the picture was really a video.

........maybe they could sound a siren at the end.

I did email the developer regarding improvements for the website but never got a response; perhaps he was just too chilled to bother!!

I couldn't do it. Every time I tried to save the image it said I failed.

I like your thinking...a "world war two sounding" klaxon would be nice

Maybe there's an anti-version of this site somewhere? Instead of a nice tranquil seascape it has some chaotic scene with the sounds of pots and pans being dropped on the floor, windows breaking and dogs barking relentlessly, designed to stress you out for two minutes....that would be nice too

I would call this a waste of time.
