Forget the hand signal. No more hand signal! (It was a joke moment on a conference call that has gotten a little out of hand, so to speak.)

Grateful for the comments.

No more hand signal.

But you are all right about the hand signal thingy – ‘the shocker’ never really took off for a good reason, it was silly – lesson learned (I had hoped).

Interesting study in tonality and packaging affecting whether people thing something is a good idea or a bad idea – it really does feel a bit hokey overall, so perhaps that is something we can fix by coming together to talk about it.

“Hey, it’s the 21st century. Where’s my flying car?”

“Dude, we have the internet, and that’s way better than a stupid flying car.”

I think a lot of us forget how cool this thing we’ve built actually is, and how important it is, so a day of celebration isn’t an entirely stupid idea. (And yes, the web isn’t the internet, but it is the coolest part of it)

The hand signal tho? Sheesh, that we can skip.

“there’s a special hand signal — you extend your middle three fingers and have your thumb and little finger touch in a circle)”

Easier to make a hand signal than fix the net.
