#2For the cookie clicker addicts among us, this would look sadly consistent... ;)

#3I have been doing something somehow similar for the past ~6 months by tracking (per minute) the number of keystrokes, distance travelled by my mouse cursor, number of clicks, active app, active wifi network and free disk space. I can't wait to start visualizing these over time.

#4Looks very cool but it's hard to give any meaning to the data

#5Too bad the mouse was recorded when not moving, worse still it left big black circles where useful data might be. Bad decision since you get nothing from the circle, apart from "user is not using the computer" which is useless.
Other data looks pretty random apart from the main blob which is positioned slightly off the center to the left and up.
Cool idea bad execution.

#6It is interesting, although I am unsure of the value of this information.
Something I have started to do is to look at the finger prints on people's touch devices. My wife's has an interesting pattern and it reflects her obsession with Candy Crush.

#7Am I the only one interpreting this as more of an art piece than, I dunno, something that should be put in D3 with a shiny explorer interface so you can find out how many times they drew a smiley face at 3AM? Sheesh.
Neat imagery, and it makes me wonder what mine would look like :) I suspect you could make out where my IDE/browser tabs usually reside.

Can you share the scripts/tools which you are using?

#9The video would probably be nicer to watch if each frame used a sliding window into the data; that way the animation could be quite smooth instead.

#10Different colour for different apps would have been neat.
