For some reason, I really like the new Apple ad called Better Results. (Don’t analyze it or me too much.)
Speaking of which—that is confessions and results—I sometimes will have days where I’ll be in front of the computer somewhere between 8 and 20 hours a day. It’s not so much a problem with 8 because that’s what one is supposed to do as a worker guy (or schlong, as my friend MR used to say). But when I’ve worked something like 12, 14, or 16 hours (the latter is rare), using the Command + Copy, Command + Paste, Command + Undo and Command + Redo keyboard shortcuts, my body starts to adhere to the protocols of the desktop mind-finger dance.
For instance, I’ll walk away from the computer, move a pumpkin and a gourd around in front of the house and then realize I don’t like the results of the new arrangement. So I’ll try to mentally hit Command + Undo and nothing happens. The pumpkin and gourd stay in the same spot that they were previously.
