Comic Final Update Aftermath

However, we still seemed to have gotten a quite a varied reaction over our whale of a tale. Below are a few of our favorites. Anonymous: Instead of going on ...
Quake 2 in HTML5
April 2nd, 2010
A while ago I wrote a blog post about WebGL's first appearance in WebKit. Since then, browsers have continued to evolve at a rapid pace.
