title: WebGL Globe Won't Load
body: <p>I am trying to run the examples in the <a href="http://www.chromeexperiments.com/globe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WebGL Globe</a> code package. I have downloaded the <a href="https://github.com/dataarts/webgl-globe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">code from the GitHub repository</a> and am attempting to run the page within the <code>globe</code> folder of the main directory.</p>
  
  <p>I have been having issues loading the WebGL Globe locally on my machine. I have set up a SimpleHTTPServer with Python to handle the requests of the webpage locally. This Python script lives in the root directory of the project (where the <code>readme</code> file lives) to ensure that all the file references within the HTML code are correct. I am able to load the page, however, the globe will not load and the progress bar image persists. This yields the following result:</p>

  <p>When I load the page, Python shows the following output:

  <p>The Python code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import SimpleHTTPServer
  import SocketServer
  
  PORT = 8000
  
  Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
  
  httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
  
  print "serving at port", PORT
  httpd.serve_forever()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see, all the files load correctly.</p>
  
  <p>I have visited a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6336517/web-gl-globe-not-working-locally">previous question</a> but none of the solutions provided worked for me (and for the person who originally asked the question). </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Is it possible that Google has stopped supporting this project?</p>
