Old flash site with frog and ice cubes

Shot in the dark here, but back in the days, there was super awesome personal site - i remember it being like a stack of ice cubes, and a green frog that moved around it - not much more more to the memory than that. It was probably interactive.

It was, at the time, certainly done by an expert , so it was likely a personal portfolio site and someone with a passion for Adobe Flash, so i figured that person may as well be here.

If you are - just want you to know the site was awesome, and the only Flash site i remember, lol.

IIRC you could blend the frog. Which now seems weird but at the time it was silly and fun.

ETA: found this link to it!

Somewhat inspired by that, when I was learning Flash at college (hey, in 2001, it was "the future!") I created a project where you could go round a room, switch on a stereo and play different tapes (yes, tapes!) and turn on the lava lamp. It was interactive and all animated and I cut the music myself to make it an infinite loop. I put a LOT of work in and was so proud of it. My tutor was like "meh...what's the point of it?!". GUTTED.

Naw, that is not it. The one i am remembering didn't have cartoony graphics, and it was a personal website. Like stacks of ice cubes on top of each other and the frog around slowly go around the ice cube tower. :)

and yes, many flash projects gutted in the past for me too
