It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like ... CRAZY!
Well, it's that time of year again... time for end-of-the-semester mania, phobia, and deep, deep, grading-inspired depression.
So to fend off the encroaching SAD (seasonal affective disorder), I present to you (click on the image):
(Make sure you have your speakers turned on, or your headphones in if you're at work.)
Um, I'm not entirely sure what to call it. But it rocks. And it's a sign of a serious obsessive-compulsive personality. That's my kind of nut-job.
In related news, one of the many ways I tortured my undergraduate students this past semester was by asking them to use PowerPoint to convey not information (as most presentations do), but emotion. Imagine a presentation that doesn't subject you to bullet lists and meaningless bar graphs, but rather feelings! That was the goal. Many of them wanted to use music to set and intensify a particular mood, but they quickly found that while PowerPoint makes it easy to include music in presentations, it's really amazingly difficult to synchronize what's going on in the presentation to the music one has chosen to play!
But now that I see what can be done with non-PowerPoint media, I'm starting to get ideas for new assignments even more diabolical and heinous than my Affective PowerPoint Assault™! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Initially I thought the strobe effects might trigger an epileptic fit, but after the peace sign reassuringly came on I realized I was going to survive after all. But then I found myself rooting for a truly GIGANTIC finish, with real live explosions, pyrotechnics, or the detonation of small thermonuclear devices. Evidently, however, this house is not located in Iraq. On a related note, you Texans sure do waste a lot of electricity in December.

that was simply amazing. The peace sign is my favorite part. Hippies with computerized lighting. Rocks dude.
