I had to extract a bunch of Winzip files. As I was waiting, I concentrated on the animation of the paper flying through the air into my folder.
“what’s happening there?” I thought. So I picked up a piece of paper and tried to copy the motion.
Unsuccessful. The paper on the screen was moving WAY too fast for me to copy.
So I took a bunch of screen shots and edited them together with MSPaint to try and figure out exactly how that paper turns and twists into its final destination.
I am proud to say that I am now able to mimic the motion of the extracting paper with a real life piece of paper. Can YOU think of anything less productive to do while you wait for files to extract?
I bend paperclips and stare out the window
I open up another window and work on something else. Big Up to multi-tasking!
You could stack coffee creamers into various structures and take photos of them. Or make coffee creamer towers and attack them with your StarCraft action figures (not dolls).
…not that I would know anything about that kinda stuff while I’m busy working.
I’m a big fan of paperclip sculptures.
On off days I read comments on blogs.
If you had a slow computer (like me) you would see ever single angle of the flying piece of paper without a need for screen-shots.
eating oatmeal and carrots is just wrong.
and whenever I’m waiting for something I play minesweeper, because its like crack.
YOUR MY HERO
