As a fun but related aside, Wistia are using d3 for a pretty cool background on their developer docs:

Click on the background to see the voronoi cells, script here:

Another fun but related aside: I used d3 to help generate layouts of tightly packed circles, which are then used as the animated background in my agency's 2013 holiday poster.

This is pretty cool. I'd be interested in reading a blog post about how you did this, pitfalls you encountered, etc.

Thanks! There's a barebones colophon in the HTML source, and I've published the source code [1], but I do intend to write up sometime soon.
