Reportedly, this experimental page features a multiplayer piano built with JavaScript and socket.io. In theory, when you view this page with Chrome, the Web Audio API should allow you to hear the notes being played by yourself -- and everyone else in the room with you.
I said in theory because clearly there is some kind of socket issue that's preventing me from being able to do this. You may have better luck than me.

Thanks for the write-up :D
From the screencap, the socket appears to be in good shape, but the audio files failed to download. I'm thinking that, unless something system-specific prevented Web Audio API from working, you may have visited at a bad time. While Reddit was pouring in, the server kept hitting the file handle limit. I think that should be resolved, now, as long as your browser didn't end up with error pages cached in the place of the audio files...

Thanks for the heads up, Brandon.
Looks like the Reddit Effect may have been the problem. The piano loaded beautifully today, the keyboard gradually went from gray to black/white and the music started pouring in.
