That made my day!

Instant classic!!! Everyone can relate to frustration associated with those error sounds and messages, let alone the extremely irritating spinning beach ball. Very creative to convert it into a musical/dance number!

Has anyone else noticed that the color on the beach ball does not spin??

Didn't notice this until you pointed it out. And I stare at that beach ball quite a bit!
This stuff happens to us every day at my university, though it only tends to happen on our PCs
Are you serious? You get dancers and music and everything every day?!?!?! I want to go to your university.
Now that's a video! And damned appropriate for TED. Now if only they would let me tell them how rockets have already saved the world a couple of dozen times.
So forward leaning.

You missed the part where this is improve anywhere.
Here's their website. Try not to take them too seriously

Well, thanks.. I checked it out, and it seems to be "Improv" (as in "improvise") and "Everywhere" (as per thread title) Rather than Improve Anywhere.. Not that im trying to nit pick! I was just trying to research the point.
So.. Next week.. A talk gets quickly stalled by a BSOD, then a load of cackling penguins storm the stage?
Then, the audience leave, feeling somewhat bemused by what they have just witnessed, but do at least have a stuffed penguin to take home under their arm. Then they can all tweet their experience, happily ever after.
Yay.. Penguins! Yay! Lets Tweet! Just yay guys! Awesome!!!
previous spinning beach balls...
