kickflip! 28 August, 2008 at 7:13 am
From the Endless Distractions department…
A short animation created, initially, in Mozilla Thunderbird. I promise, it’s true! I was typing an email and wanted to put a devil smiley, but didn’t like the way the first one I typed looked. What’s the “usual” smiley for the devil? Websearch, distraction, see something stupid about a Ninja turtle on a skateboard on the Canonical Smiley List that looks a little like so:

“Rubbish!” I thought, but decided I liked the skateboard and decided to make my own skater. I think Thunderbird is set up to use Times New Roman, but displayed below in the same manner as the Ninja turtle for comparison.

Hmm, not so bad. Here’s a screenshot of what I was looking at. Mind you, I actually picked up my laptop and rotated it to look at it a few times, but I’ve rotated the image below for you to save your neck and/or your equipment!
And on the end, there he is, for your entertainment, performing a kick flip (in super-slow-mo, so you can catch the action). Enjoy!
