By popular demand, I'm willing to open source the code for the chart if I get 10 BTC at the following address:

How about some block chain visualizations?
Sort the blocks by their last use time, then make an animation out of this, where the block visually flies to the front of the line.
This would nicely show both total bitcoin activity, as well as hoarding.

Very cool and useful.
Speeder: me too, this needs a realtime, zoomable/pannable, version.

That is very nice my friend. Id like to talk to you about developing some real time charting apps.
Nice work brother! 
Whoa, awesome 
I would like to see a real-time version of that.

In the interest of market transparency, I think it's important for everyone to be able to understand as much as possible what's going on in the currency exchanges.
Which is why I made the following chart:

In contrast with traditional charts, this one shows the volume of each trade (the area of each circle is proportional to the amount of money exchanged). The circles are transparent to allow viewers to appreciate the density of trades at a given time point.
Hopefully this chart should allow people to better understand what's going on the next time the exchange rate swings widely, and to differentiate small jitter from big movement. Assuming I didn't bork my cron command, it should get updated every hour.
