oobject.com – how do they do it?

The oobject.com website has a style that I would like to replicate on my website for various parts of it.  I was thinking of a similar style for the front page and for a few of the other pages (portfolio, my travels page, etc).  Poking around their website, I don’t see how oobject does it.  Is that hand-coded or is it a plugin or ???

Update: It looks like they do it using a service from wists.com.  It’s a shame that there isn’t a locally-hosted option because I would enjoy running something like that on my website.
