I bookmarked the site a few months ago, but then never followed up and looked at it. It looks pretty cool, especially the bouncing ball demo on their site. I haven't yet looked into how to do sound, so that's definitely something I should look into more. I'm not sure ProcessingJS is for me. I'm not a big fan of Java-like syntax when doing JavaScript, I like it more when the libraries keep JavaScript's look and feel. Anyway, thanks for the links. hey Sloat,

Anyway, thanks for the links.

Uses canvas element for drawing, but has a much cleaner API, IMO. http://raphaeljs.com/ -- A javascript library that I just discovered yesterday. Apparently uses SVG and VML for drawing. The advantage to that is you can get DOM events on the elements you create, probably resulting in better performance. Here are a couple of interesting sites:
