(Literally) Drawing the HTML 5 Logo in Canvas with Javascript

I don't understand why people are impressed by HTML Canvas demos. It's like getting impressed by a calculator adding two numbers together. Or being impressed by a for loop statement in a language. Or being impressed by an fopen statement to read files.<p>A collection of drawRect, drawCircle and setBrushColor calls isn't impressive just because it's done in JS. That's what graphics libraries are supposed to do. Maybe I'm missing something here...

Click the redraw button a bunch of times while it's still drawing for an interesting effect.

Increasing the sloppiness makes this way cooler. +1

Semi-related: Whats a good fall-back for when webgl isn't directly supported in the browser?

Cool, but needs a cancel button that stops drawing and re-enables the sliders.

This is hacker news, shouldn't they be evolving the shape, instead of just straight drawing it? Also, it should be powered by node.js somehow, and have $3 million in seed funding.
