Google GuestMap - Where are my Readers?

UPDATE: Ok, THAT was wildly successful. So successful that now my site is slow because of it! :)
I've swapped out the IFRAME and now you can just see my guestmap here. This picture is a static shot of the map this morning at 9am.

Dude, you've placed yourself in Sheridan... that's where the prison is. What up?

I definitely put my little marker over Perth (Australia) but ended up on a small tropical island in the Indian ocean near Bali. There's either some sort of subliminal “where I want to be” thing going on here... or just a fault due to a combination of a particular browser version and scroll bar positions.
That is just wicked cool. The only problem is that now I can see more local blogs to subscribe to. I already don't have enough free time to read my current subscriptions.
Odd...I'm RUNNING it in FireFox...it's google maps, works just fine.
I was thinking it was your site, not my browser. I was getting set to throw you an IM and bitch about the speed but figured I'd check one more time!
nice idea though!

Scott, The guestmap stuck a nerve with Firefox on my comp. I posted a screen capture of it. Very wierd.

Sishant, yes, on slower machines so many people have signed it that the little javascript that spins through them all to paint them takes too long!
Scott, but my machine isn't slow. Its got 1.5GB of Ram with an Intel P4 2.8ghz cpu. I also use a GeForce FX 5700 256MB graphics card. Is it really that large that my machine can't handle the load?
