I do that too. Really irritates people reading over your shoulder.

I agree with you, Mig. Lately at work I’ve been spending more time with computer un-related tasks, sorting mouldering promotional materials and health journals from the 1920’s and despite the dust and grime, I’m noticing that I feel much better than when I stare into the monitor all day. Some of it’s probably just lessoned eyestrain, but varying sensory input can’t hurt.

speaking of sensory deprivation, does anybody else find themselves absentmindedly highlighting and unhighlighting paragraphs on the screen?

i’ve always wondered why i do that, but i do it almost without thinking now.

or am i the only one.

I think that may be why I have a peach Snapple habit: ithe scent, the texture, the sensations that are missing when I gaze. But I don’t merely sit, I sway and tap and stuff too. And hum, doot dee doo.

fucking butterflies.

Actually, I’m partial to the smell of overclocked circuitry as my fingertips feel the gentle, magnetic rebound of the keys. From my comfortable chair, I command the ability to have delivered whatever consumables I require for sustenance… I’m working on being able to control sleep and worktime by simply dragging a cursor down from the menu bar.
