    I was unable to find how he did this. Anyone know?

    There appear to be various free programs online that will do this, but I figure that they’re probably spyware.

    I think I answered my own question. It will be downloaded today and checked for spyware after the next set of updates.

    Is there also such a program for real biological mice…? By now I’ve set about 6 traps, have some ferrets on borrow / patrol and still I hear some of them rummaging around….

    It looks sort of like a map of the US and part of Canada to me.

    Very cool! As an artist I love visualizations like this. I’m guessing the big circle on the upper right is from closing windows?

    This is kind of how my wacom tablet looks. It’s interesting to see how its worn down more on the left, where the window in photoshop is normally open, because all of my options and tools are on the right.
