Smileys and Emoticons, oh my!

Smileys are everywhere. Emoticons, they were once called. I still remember the first time I saw one of those sideways smileys. I thought it was nothing more than a flaky modem connection – until someone physically tilted my head to the side (simultaneously curing me of a stiff neck). Well, now I've seen a few banners with animated smilies proliferating popular Web sites. As if you needed graphics to fully express the way you're feeling at this very moment. Ponzi thought they were missing something, and decided to improv a few improvements. I decided to capture it on digital film for you here (just click the paper clip icon).
