// this was more janky than the original paul irish one
// shim layer with setTimeout fallback
window.requestAnimFrame = (function(){
  return  window.requestAnimationFrame       ||
          window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
          window.mozRequestAnimationFrame    ||
          function( callback ){
            window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60);

})();

// usage:
// instead of setInterval(render, 16) ....
(function animloop(){
  requestAnimFrame(animloop);
  render();
})();
// place the rAF *before* the render() to assure as close to
// 60fps with the setTimeout fallback.
