The author's voice makes me want to create some happy little fractal trees over here ... then some happy little fractal clouds over there ... This is awesome. I want to play with this very badly.
Scrolling is completely broken. :/ (But this looks awesome!!)
I keep reading these comments on HN, but for me, I have never experienced a 'broken' scrolling effect. I browse using Chrome on OSX using: 1. my laptop touchpad and two-finger dragging, 2. the up/down arrow keys, 3. the spacebar, or 4. the scroll-wheel on my mouse. On my phone I use Android Chrome and scroll by dragging up and down. Anyway, I can't remember ever having these techniques not work. Is there some other w…
Was it really necessary to implement your own scrollbar? It's absurdly slow (and therefore annoying) on Firefox/Conkeror, and seems entirely redundant when the browser handles scrolling perfectly fine.

I'm using Firefox on OSX. It scrolls extremely slow using a mousewheel. It also won't scroll when the mouse pointer is over the Vimeo embed (with the mousewheel or touchpad)
Very frustrating indeed on FF on a desktop.
I can't but help to think there might be some commercial potential here-- it looks incredibly fun to play with. Perhaps a free web-app where you can pay to have animations rendered at high resolution server-side and then placed in a Dropbox folder for download. Or something that makes music videos by using audio information to control some of the fractal parameters during an animation.
Perhaps you could seize the opportunity to train yourself not to look for a commercial value, or indeed, any value beyond it's inherent value. To me it's obvious that this has value in itself ; and frankly, I'm surprised you don't appreciate that.
Because from at least one interpretation - 'value in itself' means that it is not valued because it has a use in the production of something else which is valuable, but valued for its own sake. And on this definition it doesn't rule out having commercial value at all, since having commercial value simply means that people will pay money for it. It doesn't mean that they have to put it towards some other use.
It boggles my mind to think that this guy knows more about fractals than I could ever know there is to know about fractals. It's really interesting to me how people gain such deep knowledge of fields that I'll never scratch the surface of. Makes me wish I had more time.
Not only that but this is just his hobby.

Though we could discuss it all night long, in this particular case, people seem to be complaining about a chrome bug that doesn't let you scroll at all after you've done certain things ( can't really find steps to reproduce).
Which brings us again to the dangers of playing with scroll.
Chrome on OSX and chrome on android are quite the majority (and sometimes over represented on web-devs) so maybe that's why you don't see much issues.
This issue in particular happens to me with Chrome in Ubuntu.
(His voice is wonderful though, so maybe KEEP TALKING AND TAKE MY MONEY.)
I would pay $199 for this in a .app bundle instantly.

While I agree with you that a hearing test is no the worst thing one can do, ironically, some parts were so loud that I had to remove my headphones.
That could actually support the same conclusion. It's a common misconception that hearing loss is general quieting across the board. What's more common is to have selective loss in some frequency ranges. That could encourage you to turn up the volume to ear those ranges better, which then might result in sounds in other range being uncomfortably loud. Edit: more likely though is probably your speakers or something lo…
