Every now and then, someone tells me "get a life."
It's often myself.
but I've just seen a couple of things that are absolutely jaw-droppingly astonishing examples of pointless wastes of time -- spectacular, amazing, and -- in the end -- pointless.
But still incredible to watch.
First, thanks to Meryl Yourish, this "explanation" for a certain part of common computer technology.
In a similar vein, but on a truly fantastic scale, this real-life, analog recreation of some other computer display techology -- this one thanks to the fine folks at AMCGLTD.com.

Yes, Jay. You need a life. I couldn't bring myself to see all of it.
My only thought was that there seemed to be a lot of bleach blondes in there.

That real-life-animation work by the Amasians was fabulous but did everyone catch the leader-guy's performance on that human stage (lower center of frame)? It was nearly as good as the dance routine by TV-Talk-Show-host-Japanese-guy in LOST IN TRANSLATION.
