I like your idea about compressing time frames with no data to optimize screen space. @Colin Smillie: Thanks very much for your feedback!

I think there are bound to be hours with no data and they could easily be compressed/closed to provide more real estate to hours with lots of data ( being/ending of day is probably going a spike ). 3/ I'm not clear the vertical importance within the categories. Is this to indicate the most important relevent/events at those times, there should be some sort of scale to indicate that. I think categories with no data should auto close/shrink ( ie the wiki category ). 4/ The transparent background when clicking on a node does really work. I'd try a transparent border with a opaque background. Similar to Facebook's dialog box CSS. Looks good, looking forward to seeing how it comes out. Hi Jeremy,

I'm looking forward to hearing about how your design plays out through implementation and deployment. This is really nice looking.
