This came from a conversation between @tolar and myself. @tolar was making screensavers and we were ideating on what kind of screen saver would be worst. or better. This seemed to be the winner. I have had it running on my various computers for about a week and every time I see it going i think "oh no. am i on another zoom call."

@carol_mc_keon it is exactly like most zoom calls. chaos - but also listening

Screensavers were ripe for disruption, and now that employees are staying at home away from the eyes of passing by colleagues and supervisers and screensavers are no longer a useful tool to shape others opinions about you, the time was right to take a hard look at screensavers, and ask the question, is this serene landscape really congruent with my computer experience? is that pretty cityscape a part of my flow or an interuption to it? Can you really stay in the "on a call with work" zone when your environment interupts you with scenes that cause your anxiety to fluctuate? @harper and @tolar have found a way to keep you in that steady state of fight or flight, best way to be ready for that Zoom call is to never leave. You were never really off the call.

Okay at first I was like "this is stupid". Then I downloaded it and installed it and I really want this to be my screensaver forever because it is so great. Nicely did @harper and @tolar :)
