I came across this while checking out current review times for iOS apps. Super fun idea--especially if you live in a grid-based city with small blocks or somewhere with a lot of open area. Going to try it out tonight--see if I can run in the shape of the Product Hunt logo. :)

@bjamut ha, loved that idea! So much so I gave the suggestion a try earlier this afternoon, and attempted to run a pattern in the shape of the great Product Hunt kitty logo, here's the result (it actually didn't come out too bad, I captured the ears pretty well):

This was in the Presidio of SF, to be exact at Ft. Winfield Scott where there's a big open and empty field that makes it easier to draw patterns.
Just like with the real sketching toy it takes a bit of practice to draw shapes. Most days I prefer to just have the app going in the background during a bike ride or long walk, I simply like seeing the random shapes that get drawn regardless of any planned route.
