There must be something wrong with my browser. About a third of the "cool" 
sites like this I go to just don't show anything.

  Works surprisingly well.

Most flash works. Youtube works fine, vimeo works, Armor Games all work.

I'm thinking either there's some inter-flash timing problem, or I have the 
wrong version, or I've configured it to deny access to something that some 
programs expect but don't complain about missing.

Actually, I don't think I installed silverlight on my real partition. That's 
VM kind of stuff. :-)

I tried it under a VM I had hanging around. Very cool toy.

I keep thinking there must be a simpler way to do 3D modeling, especially 
with better hardware like Johnny Mnemonic gloves and such. But then I think 
of all the people who say programming would be so much easier if you just 
used little pictures connected by lines, and I realize why casual 3D 
modeling is unlikely to ever be terribly popular. :-)

Yeah, basically. Real live 3D output (or at least stereoscopic instead of 
just perspective) along with real live 3D input (rather than 2D input with a 
choice of view planes).

"The Hacker and the Ants" (by Rudy Rucker) had the most realistic version of 
the near future depiction of such systems that I've seen, including the 
"cheap" ones that people in the company used when the expensive ones were 
busy. :-)

I've seen ones with funky gloves you wear that have all kinds of different 
color patterns on them, to identify each joint of your fingers. Something 
like that would work out too, if you could prop up a couple of web cams on 
your desk and work with it.

You'd probably have to have a system where you can rough something out that 
way and then use something more precise for, like, drawing features or some 
such. Or maybe zooms and crops would do after all. The only drawback I see 
would be making it easy to switch between (for example) modeling faces or 
and modeling buildings or vehicles. You'd still have all kinds of work to do 
with animations, bump maps, making wheels round and roofs level, etc etc.
