The sample you originally posted is not accessible anymore, so my take on this might be off-base:
http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/CatmullRomSpline/scribbledOval.htm l This approach is more about 'scribbling' than Math - First several ovals are manually drawn with this tool http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/LineGeneralization/demo.html Now each time the mouse is clicked one of the pre-recorded paths is selected, some random is applied to its coordinates, it is smoothed again and finally it is rendered as Catmull Rom spline: http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/CatmullRomSpline/tween.html Post again if you need more details/code!
