Oh, it ain't just you man, it ain't just you! Sometimes I even play a little
game: I try to guess which cluster will be moved next, and where it will be
moved to. If I get both right, I win! YAY!!!!! It's like watching hundreds of
chess games all at once at 1000x real-time. Sublime.
Now I have some kewl WinAmp "Visualizations" that I've been meaning to blankly
stare at, so please excuse me while I kiss the sky.
