Summary for those of you on text-based or js-free browsers:

It's a sphere, subdivided into squares. Everyone shares the same space, so you can draw in a random square (if you login) or browse other peoples marks.

All I see is a black screen on Chrome...?

If you have ghostery it blocks stuff the site needs. This was the problem for me anyway.

mmmm. So ghostery is reporting blocking the following:

* Facebook Connect - Widgets * Google Analytics - Analytics * New Relic - Analytics * Typekit by Adobe - Widgets

Are you saying the website _needs_ one of all the above to display some webgl content ? Or something else is being blocked by this extension?

Will look into it. We haven't had time to test with ghostery/disconnect but the site definitely doesn't _need_ any of those things to work (except maybe it wouldn't look very nice without the fonts from typekit). It's a bug, not a feature :)

It's Facebook Connect that's causing the issue. Unblocking that makes it visible.

All I'm saying is I disabled ghostery, refreshed, and the site worked fine for me. YMMV.

Perhaps a WebGL issue? Email is in my profile if you're still having a difficulty.

Oh wow, I left this tab open overnight. I thought it was simply a spherical particle system demo and never gave it a second thought to attempt to click the sphere.
