Inspired by this xkcd comic, which was inspired by this video. A million cubic feet of thanks to Christie Peterson for suggesting the idea!

1) I could take the sentence “I love doc boxes” – in German? With one of our boxes in my bureau?
2) At the end of the film “Archives are awesome” and then fade away?
3) In autumn Iget a new magazin, so I can take a nice shot in an empty room with “I love magazins”

okay, I would like to put in a request that someone animate this in gif form so I can use it as a livejournal userpic (like people did with the xkcd one). Seriously, this is brilliant!

shorty, I put the first 8 frames into an animated gif for you. (I hope that’s OK with you, DeeDee.) I really don’t know if it’s small enough to use as avatar anywhere. I kind of just wanted to see if I could figure out how to animate something in Photoshop. You can download it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/varekai97x/4617691432/sizes/o/
Please do let me know if you’d like me to remove it from my flickr photos, DeeDee.

This would make a fun poster!

I agree! I’m not sure if the resolution is high enough for anything bigger than 8.5 x 11, but I’ll investigate poster-printing options.
