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.
