if there are any feature requests, i'm all ears

This could be neat, but it needs some work on presentation. You can probably reduce the height of each commit entry by 2/3 if you switch to using a 20x20 gravatar, get rid of the hash, and truncate the commit message to the first 50 characters. It would also be great if you could find room to stick the "52 week participation" graph that shows up on your user page (but not sure if there's an API for this, could be tricky).

Thanks for the input. These were all considerations of mine as well. I'll make some updates to the widget.

Implementing some charting into it would be awesome and was something I initially had in mind, however you suspected right in that there isn't much help from the API for 52-week participation. Will see what I can dig up.
