Thanks, that's good, but it would be better if you could do something more
abstract and repeatable so we can repeat the same image several times, so it
would look the same in every resolution, without white borders at the sides
for wide screens.

On the other hand, I can see a nice opportunity to turn this into something
like: https://github.com/404

The background (of this background image) stays as it is (strech-to-fit
fluid) - whereas, the spaceship, beam etc. can be hovering PNGs (either
elastic or fixed sized); at the very least, even http://dromaeo.com's header
like implementation would be good too.

Well, it'll take a little more work though - but, I'd say it's a fair
tradeoff.

I don't think we want that on our main page, sorry.

Well if we had a strong concept I do think the ideas Soumya mentioned
would be possible. E.g., I've done little side projects using
http://www.spritely.net/ - it has a real wow factor I think could be
nice; the challenge is coming up with a compelling concept / design to
use it with.

Well, if such a design will be ready for GA, we could use it.

Nice Mo!

That gives me an idea - the background that Zach has made [say, it is: 321]
can be visually appended with a horizontally inverted version [i.e. to make
it as: 321123] - then it can be used as *the* background (moving at a
certain speed along +X direction) to create the effect of rocket-on-the-go.

Very possible - I'd say; and will be catchy too!

Yep, that would add some fun and something new.
Just remember that websites should not be too ugly for people with JS
disabled. (is it still true?)

The background won't just give the moving effect, if JS is disabled.
It'll still look quite awesome (as it does now as a background) even when
static.
