I've ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the Canvas element.
I've been working on this project, off-and-on now, for the past 7 [...]

The guys over at Ajaxian asked me to do answer a couple questions for them (on video) so I set about forming it into a mini-presentation. I discuss a couple things:
