Great work and useful examples that shows how much richer the web has become since the dark old days when <blink> and <marquee> was the only options to make your web page eye-catching.

You mean annoying? There are better ways to make a website stand out than to override default scroll behaviour. Websites like these tend to make me queasy, since I expect the screen to move down, not forward.

If you're going to make transitions like these, they should be initiated by something else, like the keyboard or buttons. The scroll bar was specifically designed for browsing vertical documents, not rocketing through spacetime.

Don't forget animated GIFs. A staple for any mid-90s site
