Look for "Ferrofluid" on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ferrofluid&search_type=
A "ferrofluid" is a colloidal suspension of ultra-fine magnetic particles in a fluid, like water or oil. The applied magnetic field pushes and pulls it into interesting shapes. They look like computer-generated images, but they are actual real-time videos.

(Procrastination is watching a film about procrastination. And then going and looking for an appropriate smiley to leave a comment about it. Now, time for another cup of tea.)

I was trying to find some kind of key combo (can't remember what) and did that by accident.

had NO idea how to get my computer back to normal.

one sheepish email and a bemused response from super dan our sysadmin, and all was well again.
