A quick exercise in coordination

Aug 6, 2007 3:48AM PDT

(From my mail box)

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are goofy)
and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your
computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise
circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with
your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

Mine sure did. Happy

Have you actually used it?
Aug 6, 2007 6:36AM PDT

My apple's too old to have come with it and I really am not willing to get a web-cam, let alone hook one up.

By the way... I can actually almost manage the trick if I do it with my left hand and my right foot. I've given myself ankle cramps tough, so I'll have to wait till tomorrow to post the video on the web!

re: iSight
Aug 6, 2007 7:43AM PDT

No, I haven't used it. I don't know anybody who has it. Sad Sometimes I just look into it and make faces. (yep, I can see myself.) Something neat. I can do all sorts of fun things with my face with it, which can be emailed or published.

My Colorado family has a web cam, but would have to get the AOLmessenger, whatever it's called. I don't know if they have the web cam hooked up. My brother gave us each one several years ago, and I never hooked up mine.

iSight only works with Bon Jour and the AOL thing for video and audio.

Better watch it! Trying to hard might do something to your brain. Happy

I can do it OK ...
Aug 6, 2007 9:06AM PDT

I'm not sure I could do it QUICKLY but I can do it OK if I don't get in a hurry.

My coordination problems don't seem to interfere with that particular task. Now if I could just jab the needle into the patient's correct anatomic location ... Or if I could ride over that 18" log without leaving my bike on the wrong side ... Or ...
