So one project I've been participating in recently is Phineas's Exquisite Corpse project.

It's an art experiment, where one person makes a panel 450 pixels wide by 200 tall, then they send the bottom 15 pixel slice to the next person on the list. That person uses those 15 pixels as a starting base and continues on from there, and so on until the list is done (either 4 or 5 people per corpse).

Anyhow, I've been put on three of the lists, have finished two panels (I got my third on Thursday and am still working on it) and this afternoon the first corpse that I'd participated in was posted.

It's really pretty fun, though I haven't felt this impatient to see results from something since the last time I mailed in UPC codes to get my very own Boba Fett action figure, and had to wait 'four to six weeks for delivery'.

Four to six weeks, as most kids probably discovered (but probably won't anymore, in a world of Amazon and UPS 2nd Day Air and 7 days of inventory), is precisely the amount of time where even the most strong desire and anticipation falls victim to the elementary schooler's attention span. Actually, that goes all the way to high school, as even my SAT scores would always come back a few days after I stopped checking the mailbox every day.

Anyhow, sidetracked -- sorry. Exquisite corpse. Cool, slow, neat. Look, participate, wait.
