A CodePen by Mike Ferron. Canvas Particle Emitter - Started playing with my 'Canvas Color Wipe' pen and ended up with this.  Turned out AWESOME.  I pre-loaded it with a handful of cool presets to play with and show off all the possibilities.  There are a ton of options to mess with.  

Borrowed some ideas from 71Squared's iOS particle emitter tutorial.

Turn off the RADIAL option to improve performance.
