Could be my slow internet connection, but this is slow and laggy for me in chrome.
Same here. But that happens every time I load a computationally expensive javascript app.

I think it's just our slow processors.

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.
FYI you get a pop-up if you try other locations in the world:

Remember, you can only explore and build in Australia and New Zealand at the moment.

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.

Las month, there was a discussion about haw is the best way to ask about the birth date of a person [1]. I think that one of the more difficult part is that the year list is too long.

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.
Spent a couple of hours this morining building dream home. Tried to upload but its just hanging (Chrome on OSX). Anyone else found this???
