I know you can't actually show relative distances to scale, you'd lose the people who don't travel much, so figuring out how to retain a sense of that (perhaps extending up and down from the circumference of the circle?) poses a challenge.

Great to see the results now. Good job! Hi Jer,

I anticipate a growing observer effect as individuals become more aware of their digital trails. Going to a farther supermarket to get a foursquare badge comes to mind. Fantastic.

When I set up some experiments with it a few years ago it was pretty impressive and not all that hard to get set up. Something like that might help a lot with parsing and rendering data from massive data sets. There's a post here from the old Proc. board on just that topic: <a href="http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1263951900" rel="nofollow">http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num...</a> Out of curiosity, since you're talking about massive data sets, have you looked into using EC2 with Processing?
