Originally, I attempted to make a normal tree trunk, but the result make me think of chocolate…
And the performance seems hard to be improve since I’m animating bitmaps…

After alternately using IE 7, Safari 3, Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 for nearly a month, I can conclude that Firefox 3 is the best browser among them (at least on Windows and Mac OSX).
Firstly, a good browser should render web pages correctly and Firefox 3 gets 71 marks in acid3. I know, opera 9.5 gets 83 marks, Safari 3 gets 75 marks. But comparing to IE7′s 14 marks, I think 71 is acceptable…
Secondly, Firefox 3 has more functions available. I am not talking only the build-in functions, but including add-ons. Actually Opera had the most powerful build-in functions since a long time ago, but it is lacking add-ons, or I think the add-ons do not act like the way they should be… they act like separate applications. Also, for every Opera build-in functions, or nearly any functions you may think of, there exist a equal (or better) add-on in Firefox. (btw, this one rules…)
Thirdly, Firefox is cross-platformed (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux). There is only a IE 5.2.3 on Mac, seems that there won’t be an updated version of IE for Mac soon. Safari for Windows is still young, most plug-ins for Safari work only on Mac. Only Opera can run on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux like Firefox.

I am learning to use Bezier curves and above is my first Bezier curves exercise.
I used TweenMax to parse the Bezier curves since I want to animate it later…
