The BackStory:

For reasons I can’t quite remember, I got it into my head that what I should work on during the month of April wasn’t the planned series on brainwave entrainment, or the oh-so-important courses on brain training, the hopefully-upcoming contest inspired by “Brain Rules”… or even figuring out why the heck this weblog has started loading so painfully slowly.

No, No.. Clearly what I *NEEDED* to work on was an animated, quote-spitting Flash thing-a-ma-jig.

Yepp. It was absolutely necessary! You, my dear readers, were clamoring for such a thing.

(Ok, so you weren’t clamoring. But you didn’t know you could have such a wondrous toy. I’m sure if you had conceived of the possibility, you would have clamored.)

So, with your would-be-wishes in mind, I spent tedious hours learning not one, but two, Flash programs.

(Please clamor. It would make me feel much better.)

For weeks, I struggled with action script, learning what the heck a pre-loader is, and trying to reduce an absurdly bloated Flash file that I did wrong from the start. Not to mention troubleshooting DNS FTP and OAA (Other Assorted Acronyms.)

(Can you clamor a little louder? I don’t hear you… )

And so, at long last, it’s here.

The largely pointless, yet utterly amusing and soon to be famous
MindTweaks Quote-Spitting-Thingamajig.

Get Tweaked!
