I'm sad that it said I failed when I pressed the "Volume Up" key on my keyboard.. I couldn't hear the waves!

Seems like it should just reset in that case.

Honestly, didn't find it too difficult; just dropped into chair-zazen for a couple minutes.

Strangely "Fails" for me every 3 seconds (Chrome stable, Windows Vista, Vimium installed).

When you fail it only resets the counter, and then continues to count down. Just wait another 2 minutes! :)

I've hooked up the resetCounter function to quite a few events, including "blur". Have you got another window that's stealing the focus regularly, such as an IM client or something?

I had a lot of fun writing this, and it's great to see it taking off. Waiting 2 minutes was impossible for me, I had to set the counter to 2 seconds while testing it! :)

Well done, the waves are actually quite relaxing.

It would be fun to see a graph of how long people last. :)
