Dan,

Yes all good points. I was not very explicit about what I liked. It is 
the vector and object drawing done cross browser. Since a lot of what I 
do it maps and building apps on top of maps, I would really be able to 
use some generic tools for drawing that are fast, cross browser and 
capable of handling more than a few dozen points or objects.

Yeah, just eye candy :) Btw, how do you draw a circle in js?

Yeah, I noticed that. It was just a nice integration of a lot of vector 
drawing and nice coordination of dragging the clock hands to adjust the 
time.

I think the point here is that it would be nice to have a library of the 
primitive object create tools and the snapping or hotspot tools.

or add save/load function that read/writes an xml document somewhere.
