Fun Experiment with HTML5 and Audio

Demo: http://9elements.com/io/projects/html5/canvas/
Blog: http://9elements.com/io/?p=153
 
This is an interesting page that shows a bit of creativity with the Canvas and audio tags in HTML5. Swirling dots pulsing to a down-tempo track. What's not to like?
 
You'll need a modern browser such as Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, and the latest betas of Google Chrome and Opera.

There's a bit of cursor interactivity, and if you click, you get a tweet. I'm not sure, but I suspect the pulsing is not to the music itself, but rather to the incoming tweets. Just a guess.
