a sophisticated visual aggregator that tracks the activities of about 32,000 noteworthy people, both living & dead. the dataset consists of a "Who's Who" including the curriculum vitae of each noted person (i.e. information such as date of birth, a biography, & other essential facts.)

the resulting network graphs document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious, as a person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with.

nodes can be order hierarchically, as a grid, or symmetrically, or be highlighted by age, political affiliation or sexual orientation. all graphs can be stored for others to explore, ranging from Google's board politics over Larry Page to the Enron board political contributions.
