oooh eye candy!
I just sent someone a MefiMail note and when the confirmation screen loaded a cool little message box appeared above the list of sent messages, "Your message has been sent."
it faded in, cycled through the blue and the green and then faded away. it was very slick and made me feel all futurey.
So, um, like, thanks! I thought it was neato.

A doctor fell into a well
And broke his collarbone;
A doctor should attend to the sick
And leave the well alone.
The end.

So are all the pages shifting colour slowly in response to this thread? Every time I leave my computer for a moment, when I come back, the pages are a different shade completely.

and to clarify: if you click grouse's link, you have started the colorshift thing. If you click carsonb's link, you end it.

Mywhybark...
That's funny, I've been scanning that as Mrwhybark for years. Also shmegegge seems to have one too many syllables for me to subvocalize. Must be all the Scooby-Do Windowpane I took in the olden days.

shmegegge's name works out best if you just pronounce it out loud to yourself every time you read it.

You do not, however, get any extra points for screaming it at the top of your lungs while thrusting your pelvis in syncopation towards the direction of a group of co-workers.
Which you totally should. It really seems like the kind of thing that the Human Resources department would understand to be a motivational technique.
Sadly, for whatever reason, they do not.
