This is an impressive one as well (basically a big snowball that grows bigger picking up page elements): http://kathack.com/ I've always wondered if these sorts of tools could be a useful gimmick for traffic-generation

Really exciting! I feel that the week I invested in making it, is really paying off. At least in self-confidence!
By the way, tks Github for hosting it free of charge!

Tks, HTML 5 is on the verge of massively disrupting games. And my bet is that it will be with the DOM and not canvas or webGL.
Why DOM specifically? Aren't both canvas and WebGL well suited for 2D/3D? re: three.js, etc.?
Of course frameworks will help with that. But by the end of the day, the hardware accelerated rendering system will be so good, I'm sure we gonna be able to render thousand of particles with the DOM.
Tks HN! fontBomb is getting viral! I'm now getting the same amount of traffic from others sources then HN. Have a look : http://min.us/mEKGlLMaB Really exciting!

Congratulations and keep up the good ideas!
By the way, nice to see a fellow Canadian hacking it up!

Why are you using a wacom tablet to browse the web? Isn't that for drawing?
Once you go absolute-position, it's hard to go back. With a mouse, you need to be aware of where the cursor is ; with a tablet you just need to know where you want it to be.
Didn't watch the movie, but I think the functionality is awesome :) Would love to see a gallery of what people have come up with. Is it possible to see source code?
