Actualy, I was kidding. I hang out on the IRC channel a lot, and people laff at me for wanting realtime satalight picture backgrounds, auto updating with a website, while having backgrounds that would be kinda like old-school side scrolling video games, ie mario and sonic. Where the background has multi layers, with the canvas taking mouse cursor position and determining the backgrounds layer position according. Imagin like your mouse is a character in a sonic game, and the backgrounds layer and move based on the mouse position. My comment was more or less a joke at my expence. ;)
