A virtual pen plotter

Adafruit reports on a delightful new simulator: Frank Force has built a browser-based pen-plotter tool that recreates an AxiDraw machine at work. Drop an SVG file onto the page and watch a virtual drawing arm slide, lift its pen, and execute each stroke—at adjustable speeds ranging from real-time to one thousand times faster. It's pure simulation with no physical output, but deeply satisfying to watch. The project is open-source and available on GitHub.
