Last night I felt both bored and industrious. One of this things I've been meaning to do as of late is to mess around with html5 canvas (2d) object. So, I headed to http://jsdo.it which is a Japanese site with a take on "social" sharing of code. There I saw several "digital" clocks, but saw none that were analog (at least not in the front page or through searching). So, I thought it would be a good exercise to make one. Two hours later it was out for public view/critique. It was really fun and a bit challenging ( figuring out the methods available in the canvas 2d context was a bit of a pain) -- mostly remembering my high school trig :) Once I had the seconds "hand" figured out it was easy peasy thereafter.
Next, I plan to whip out couple of 2d fractal generators ... nothing Mandelbrot or Julia though (those get plenty of limelight and mentions). If I see the canvas 2d platform lends itself to it and if I feel gumptious enough I'm going to start a math graphing and visualization html5/js library. If you are interested in collaborating in such library, drop me a line via Twitter.
