  2. Ok, I’ll take a guess. I’m probably totally wrong, but is it a hard disk platter?

  3. CD/DVD, infrared lighting?

    I have no clue, really.

  4. I’m going to go with network visualization, showing port traffic for one host. Rings indicate port number, brightness indicates requests, radian indicates geographic location.

    I hope the bright area in the middle is somewhere around port 22 to 443.

  5. Oh and if I’m wrong, I may have to make that.

    @Scott: that’s an interesting visualization idea. Your answer is not correct, but you’re going in the right direction.
