The mouse speed one is incredible!

Now I'm just trying to work out how to fit these in to the stats section of my websites, great piece of coding!

The mouse speed demo has been pretty popular - I think the best actual example of that technique in action that I've seen using jQuery Sparklines can be seen at the Firefox download stats page:

Seriously, seriously cool demo there, and just the kind of thing I can see lots of people enjoying :)

Anyone know what they are using to do the world map on there?

oh nevermind, I see it now at the bottom

Sorry dude, I fat fingered on my iPad and hit the down arrow instead of hitting up.

The mouse demo thing was killer.

No worries :)

I really like the idea of using the mouse demo for a pretty useless display of say, current processing levels, which'll make every geek's eyes roll and get the guys in marketing salivating ;)

This is a great library. We dumped Flash and npw use a modified version of Sparklines in our reports. Have a look at an example here:

A bit unrelated to this but any ideas how we can improve the reports? Specifically thinking of providing little line chart sparklines for traffic next to each variation.
