So Canvas is essentially a social medium for the generation and propagation of user-created images? Meme-type communication and whatnot? Right?
This is insane. Assuming this is successful, you'll have created the medium for a post-literate society. Do you realize the type of basic cognitive shit you're messing with?

I've had one sleep-deprivation episode which caused me to hallucinate. I was awake for ~50 hours and had been listening to Dan Deacon's album Bromst on repeat for a large portion of it. I was also writing a paper.
I got up to pee and when I was standing over the toilet I saw firefly-like glowing spots that kind of rotated around my visual field. It was as though the surface of my visual sphere was tessellated with some pattern, and the glowing spots marked the vertexes. They all remained equidistant and in-sync as they kind of did a quick spiral before disappearing. It only lasted 1-2 seconds, but it was extremely vivid. The strangest part was I "saw" the spots even where my eyes had no visual information, even behind my head (or in my head, possibly, as I had no concept of the objects' distance).
I have absolutely no idea whether what I experience is in any way typical for sleep deprivation.
