WPF/E Mouse Track

I'm very fond of the Flash work of Yugo Nakamura, and several years ago I remember seeing a mouse tracking application of his that was simple yet strangely addictive, so I decided to use it as inspiration for this next test:

WPF/E Mouse Tracking (WPF/E Required)

This is a bit more involved than the Egg Timer, as it incorporates ASP.NET AJAX PageMethod calls to save (and retrieve) mouse tracking information (for multiple visitors) - it's hopefully quite simple to understand.

Hit "record", record a few seconds of your own mouse movements, and that's it. Then hit "play", and watch your wonderful handiwork replay itself.

I've got a few more places I want to take this, but thought I'd throw it up there and see how it works out.

Is there a way to download the source code (besides View Source). I am considering writing an article on WPF/E and ASP.Net AJAX integration.
