IAM Usage Animation

I made a little full-day animation of yesterday's use of IAM (it's about a three meg WMV file). Blue dots represent a user online at that instant, and a yellow glow of various sizes gets emitted depending on how many users are online in that location at that moment. You'll notice two or three users that have mis-entered their location as well (you can see below someone showing up in the Marquesas Islands, which I'm guessing is wishful thinking). Timecode is EST by the way:

Since I always get asked this, the audio over the video is a brief excerpt from “Popcorn”, AKA the soundrack from Arkanoid “Long Dark” by Electrelane (off the Rock it to the Moon album). When I get a chance I'm going to improve my rendering routines and create a prettier version of this as well.
Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
