Track Mouse Activity On Your Computer

Track Mouse Activity On Your Computer
Anatoly Zenkov provides this nifty tool (Mac and PC) to track your mouse pointer. Really simple. Just start it, let it run, minimize the window, and carry on as usual.

[via feltron] Update: Anatoly has setup an actual site for the app instead of it sitting in the dropbox boonies of boontown.
