Okay, #storytime: Decades ago, when I was probably 19 or 20, I wrote a snarky rant titled "Why the Paper Clip Sucks" about my disdain for the animated paper clip and posted it to my college web site. It ended up being quoted by @davew on his site "Scripting News", which was one of the first blogs!

Sadly (or maybe not so sadly), after I graduated from college, my site went away. I have a saved copy of that essay on my machine, and maybe I will repost it some day.

Now I feel old! #XennialAngst
