Don't click it?
I would like to recommend this website to the class. I feel this website is really interesting and I believe it uses intensive flash to display the visuals. The really amazing thing about this site is that it is against the common "clicking" of your mouse to move around on the website. You will actually be warned when you click on anything!
I believe this website appeals to computer users that use computers on a regularly basis. Also this website would appeal to people that are interested in changes in the technological revolution. The reason I believe this is because of the way the website displays explains that the creator questioned existing habits of interface development and decided to take it to another level.
This website strongly appeals to logos. When using this website, you are pratically going out of your normal computer using interface where nearly everything is controlled by you clicking on links, pictures and objects. Meanwhile, this website argues that there are ways to navigate on a website without clicking.
Dontclickit appeals to pathos in the way it requires you not to click on anything at all. The website will even try to trick you to click on pictures at times. The result will be a warning reminding you that clicking is deeply rooted in you and perhaps a habit created over time. While navagating through this website, you will strive to not click on anything. This will appeal to your emotions, making you fustrated, interested, annoyed, or fascinated. Emotions will vary depending on the person.
Dontclickit appeals to ethos by showing that although clicking is not wrong, it has almost completely taken over computer interfaces these days. This website is shows ways of changing how a person interacts with website interfaces.
Check this website out if you have time.

This is a fabulous site--it raises all kinds of important practical design questions and even more important philosophical questions about design.
I am particularly interested in what you say about the way the site engages our "habit" of clicking, since Aristotle's ethics is so closely connected to the idea of habit and habit formation. Here ethos and pathos are conjoined--we feel a certain way, so we act a certain way. It's always good to remember that the boundaries between the proofs are often fluid.
Great site. I envy the Flash prowess. . .
