When I was a kid, I was a huge web-dork. I spent inordinate amounts of time with html and java-script. But you need something cool to put within all that code, so I was soon spending inordinate amounts of time with Paintshop Pro and its accompanying .gif creator. I don't know how many hours up through college I spent creating .gifs, but I was awesome at it. Remember, in the late 1990's, before we had easy to stream video (you know, before I could watch downtown Cairo live on my phone while on a sidewalk in Manhattan) .gifs were an effing big deal. It's an image! It moves! Now .gifs are like a pair of chucks or Vans: sure, we have the technology for better, more comfortable shoes, but the old-skool shoes are just so cool. .Gifs are just so cool. Kinda as cool as this high-five:
