For a second I didn't think it was, but the page looked too serious to be just
a mockup (regardless of the April's fool warning at the top).  So I actually
donwloaded the code to see how he did it,  because it wasn't quite obvious to
me after the standard 3 seconds of thought.  It was quite fun the read how he
got it to work.
