@jonny In 2001, I created a simple page that made a bird sub-window center itself under your mouse. The idea was "you can't close it without using keyboard controls". The JS doesn't work anymore but I really don't care to figure out why.
The code, and my ASCII art bird, is here:

@elithebearded I think with contemporary javascript you would do that like this! https://gist.github.com/sneakers-the-rat/b00e431e011b17d69f3692196772d4a7

@jonny Thanks. It seems a little easier to escape now, fast mouse movements or hitting the side of the screen work. But it's the general idea.

I stuck it in the lower case version of the URL at my website:

I can credit you differently if you'd like.

@elithebearded
dang. we'll have to write a predictive kalman filter to move the window one or two steps ahead of where the mouse is going to be then. no credit needed, it was your site :)
