I think being transported to the International Spaaaaaace Station [1] is one of the highest honors a commercial object of any kind can receive. I remember reading about it in this article [2].

Love the stuff, it's on the table in front of me now.

I found a glider! http://www.wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,2,2,1,3,2,2,3...

The glider appears after a few seconds of high speed.

Very nice implementation!


I got some bubbles wandering up the screen quite slowly: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,2,2,0,1,3,2,1,2...

Not exactly a glider, but it looks like this does at the start, but reversed...sort of... (maybe)
