Fair enough. :-)

Yeah, I really like Roboto Slab.  For one thing it looks kind of retro;
almost like a monospace font but without the visual imbalance that usually
comes with monospace fonts.  It's also the standard font on the RTD Sphinx
theme so it fits nicely with the rest of the page.  Sadly, the gears don't
align with it as nicely; the serifs make that very difficult.

The only thing the JS does is turn the animation on and off.  The actual
animation is pure SVG. The main reason (as I understood it) for the
JavaScript is to make the gears *not* turn if someone has disabled
JavaScript.  I'm sure people will disagree as to whether or not that's a
feature. :-)  I'm not sure if you can get the turn-on-hover thing with just
SVG and not JS though... /me doesn't know either all that well.
