JQuery Plugin for Pie Menu (like Path)

Neat, but:

1) What's up with everyone trying to implement this PARTICULAR effect? I'm not saying that fixed-positioned, above-the content menu shall stay unique to Path. But there's no point in copying the same animation, arc of icons, rotation, etc. "Good artists copy, great..." and all this jazz: please steal, and by stealing, make it your own. Now you just copy.

2) The effect has a common CSS bug, where page flashes after animation. I'll send a fix as pull request, but just in case you didn't know how to fix this, the trick is setting 3d-transform(0, 0, 0) on parent object. This activates GPU for that element, and it no longer flashes.

The menu is nice, but I'm wondering why no one has implemented the scrolling clock indicator in javascript/CSS. That is actually genuinely useful in some cases. The same goes for an alphabet indicator.

The closest I've seen is sausage.js. http://christophercliff.github.com/sausage/
