Virtual Bubble Wrap

Posted Jul 12, 2008 by Jason Faulkner  

No mere mortal can resist the urge to pop the air pockets in bubble wrap (don’t kid yourself). Whether it is the sound or the feel of popping it, something about it is rewarding. If the former is what does it for you, then pop some virtual bubble wrap.

Nothing complicated here, just click the bubble. Admittedly, I have found myself doing this while on seemly tedious calls. While many may find this to be a waste of time, bookmark it anyway and see how often you end up going back.

    I’ve never heard bubble-wrap burst with the sound of a snare drum before. Extraordinary! Little things…

    One thing does concern me though (Totally off-topic): On the same page as I’m on right now you’re advertising those damn smileys which are supplied free with half a ton of spyware. Were you aware of this? - Only I was surprised to have found them advertised here that’s all.

    Those smileys are probably coming from an ad banner from Tribal Fusion, a network we use. I need to try to block it.

This is what I like about this book. It is powerful information that everybody needs, but it doesn't read like a boring computer manual. LEARN MORE
