Multiuser Sketchpad
Canvas+Websockets+node.js == tens of people drawing on the same board. The “Time to Penis” is ridiculously short. (On my first go, I wrote “hello world”. Within 30 seconds, someone had made a smiley face of the ‘o’, and someone else was in the middle of turning the ‘h’ into a cock.)
IT’S THE NEW CHATROULETTE!

noVNC
Browser VNC client, implemented plugin-free in JavaScript using HTML5 websockets and canvas. I love this future.

Smokescreen
Holy crap, this is a cunning hack! Renders (some) SWFs in browser without the Flash plugin, using Canvas and JavaScript. Works (albeit somewhat slowly) on iPhones and iPads. Gonna be interesting to see if Adobe buy this up.

cufón: fonts for the people
Now this is lovely — convert fonts into VML, then seamlessly replace text on webpages. Like sIFR, but without the horrendous hassle of needing to do things with Flash.

Bespin: A new Mozilla Labs experimental extensible code editor using Canvas
An attempt to create an in-browser lightweight IDE. This is interesting for a bunch of reasons: Hardcore use of <canvas>, a goal of creating SubEthaEdit style realtime collaboration, and if nothing else, creating a genuinely decent-looking web-based text editor.

typeface.js -- Rendering text with Javascript, <canvas>, and VML
Amazingly clever piece of hackery. Embed fonts seamlessly in your pages in a manner that works with all released major browsers (including iPhone), but degrades gracefully. Need to do some playing with this…

Processing.js
John Resig has ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the <canvas> tag. John is officially one of the most scary-smart people I know.
