Voronoi Treemaps for the Visualization of Software Metrics (pdf)
Neat way of visualizing hierarchical data sets (like disk usage or lines of code for a directory tree) as a 2D graph where surface area in proportionate to the metrics. Would be even prettier if the graph was evolved to a minimum-energy state (as soap bubbles would have organized themselves).
