It also works just fine in Firefox.
That's pretty awesome. There goes my productivity for the next couple of hours :(
I spent about an hour building and decided to save using my Google account. Unfortunately, it's broken. You'd think if they supported one platform, it would be Chrome on Windows. Go figure.
LOL reminds me of Minecraft http://www.minecraft.net/

In the form to choose the year the list starts with 1892 and finish with 2012. I suppose that most of the people that use this are relatively young (<40?), so I think it would be better to offer the recent years fist.

If you really want to speed it up let users enter the year or use separate drop downs for decade and year.
Doesn't seem to support Chrome in Linux (21.0.1180.4 dev). I get redirected to the "download Chrome" page when I try to view 3D.
I had the same until I forced Chrome to allow webGL.
