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:

I wrote this a couple of years ago and it's been very nice to see the amount of attention it's received; I probably receive an email a day about it on average.

Just wish I had a bit more time to add one or two of the most requested features, though I'm deliberately not adding too much - There are much better tools for generating full sized charts in Javascript.

Flot is great for generating graphs directly in the browser, saving the roundtrip for the image and allowing some interactivity: http://code.google.com/p/flot/

You can also generate simple Sparklines client-side too: http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/

These too-cheap-to-be-true screens use TN panels that have just terrible viewing angles. I bought an HP 22" panel the other week and got rid of it almost immediately as the colours would shift as you moved your head.

Replaced it with a Dell 2408WFP instead which is 100x better, if significantly more expensive.

It's confusing as you'd think 2409 > 2408 but that's very far from the truth.

technoguyrob: Yep I wrote it to use Canvas for browsers that support it, VML for Internet Explorer.
