Canvas + Processing.js

The new canvas tag in HTML5 is really interesting me. Perhaps its because I have never liked or warmed up to
Flash all that much (too proprietary for my liking), but the possibilities for it are exciting. Especially with Processing.js, which ports the ease and functionality of Processing onto the web (no more applets!). There are some exciting things going on, such as this recent one that visualizes Twitter feeds.
At any rate, I have a quick experiment that I did with processing.js up here. The page requires a modern browser to view it (Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, Chrome, perhaps a recent Opera. IE, dunno–you are on your own). And bear in mind here, this is all HTML and Javascript. No Flash involved.
If you are interested, my code is available here and you can get the Processing.js files here.
