Looks very cool, but can't get the demo to work at all.

On iPad it said "upgrade to iOS8", on W7/FF33 it said "Oops, something went wrong", on W8.1/FF33 it went all the way through the loading and then got stuck with just one pixel in the progress bar left to go. :-|

Hey, dev here, thanks for not giving up on the first try :) WebGL is still pretty new, so it has some quirks.. but you seemed to be particularly unlucky. Does WebGL usually work on your W7/FF33 setup? (does http://get.webgl.org/ work?) As for the W8.1/FF33 case, does it work if you try again, or is it still the same?

On W8.1 it cycles between "500 Internal server error" (with a blank page, and not just for the above link, but for the homepage as well) and the stuck case. When it gets stuck, here's the console from the firebug -

Typekit errors are due to the Referrers being blocked, this is very common and never disastrous. Disqus and Google Analytics are just blocked at the domain level.

On W7/FF33 - yes, the get.webgl.org works as do other WebGL'd sites.
