And a few days before that... I don't like going into the 'old'ing but I was under the impression that there was a URL check when posting doubles on HN. Maybe I was wrong...
I must've missed it the first time around, still, its an impressive demo, at first I thought I was uncovering some kind of hidden image, then when I figured out I was making it I immediately had to try it all, very cool stuff.
There is a lot of interesting code in here; I took the liberty to beautify the JavaScript here, http://pastebin.com/zVe5a1Fi
This got me so excited I've decided to dedicate my spring break to getting acquainted with HTML5 by learning to us http://processingjs.org
I think HTML5 could quite likely liberate JavaScript from the DOM altogether and provide the necessary foundation for revolutionizing 'the manner' in which we develop the browser as a client-side application on 'some system' while further streamlining the web-server as a means of storage. I mean HTML5 could very well be the solution for writing formidable JavaScript that can do so much more besides molesting the DOM. ;)
This is amazing. I wish there was the ability to make text via typing as well because I could easily make some basic designs to pretty up my website with this =]
