    I released a visualization I completed yesterday which is written in D3 (source on Github) - http://dealloc.me/demos/crime/2011.html . Also, I've written an introduction to D3, focusing on what makes it different than your average charting library - http://dealloc.me/2011/06/24/d3-is-not-a-graphing-library.ht... .
