I’ve mapped out this cool idea for my personal web page.
I essentially just want to blur out the <body> and everything in it.
And with mouse over — a circle takes place of the mouse, with the inner non-blurred.
Any simple JS / jQuery or CSS solutions?
It would be cool to easily toggle a zoom for within the circle; but can do without.

Just a couple ideas:
This Fiddle does something like you’re suggesting:

You would have to modify the hover effect so it only un-blurs the element beneath your mouse.
For images, you could make a sprite for every image that includes a blurred and focused version that flip-flop when you hover.
