Use Chrome's developer tools to inspect it. It's a great way to figure out how things are done.

most animations are CSS3.

I wouldn't touch any of those with a ten foot pole, just learn jQuery and CSS3 by heart and cherrypick relevant libs to save time
They used MapBox for the maps BTW

Learning CSS and Javascript is easy as long as you try to make your life easy. What I mean is that since there is such a large community and it's open source, there are tonnes of libraries out there that already package pretty much any trick or effect you would want to produce... so your job is to find those libraries and make them all work together. You'll end up hacking scripts together more than anything else, and that's also a great way to learn how things work. Eventually you end up getting more and more of it and you build up your tricks and shortcuts just like you do as a graphic designer.
Unless you want to become a developer, than you have to learn the fundamentals to be worth something.

Any tip on the spinning circle animation?

Big part of that site is grea planning early on - v.tight paths through the site/interesting transitions - that would have been the major work, then design, then getting a load of nerds to make it happen. But the exciting part is the thought process imho.

Snappy site. Too bad the content is completely uninteresting.

ya Jquery has plugins you can use, IE: http://www.unheap.com/
there's also CSS "stuff" you can re-use: http://css-tricks.com/, http://www.css3maker.com/, etc.
Google and patiently reading are your friends =)
