The movie shows HTTP traffic on managerleague.com, and some personal web sites.

On the left side, each blob represents a hit on a website, pulled from Apaches access log and Rails' production log in real-time. A small blob is a request with a short response time, a big one took longer. The color indicates which site it came from.

On the right hand side, each blob represents a requested URL or a hit from a referrer.

The numbers show requests per minute, averaged over the last 10 minutes.
