“Geeks” are usually pretty pressed for time. Well maybe not pressed for time, but we’d probably rather be programming or playing UT2k4 than doing the laundry. So rather than go to work wearing a crumpled and wrinkled shirt every day, fold your shirts like a ninja does. It only takes 7 seconds per shirt, and you can look really “cool” doing it!
Hiiiiiiiyaaaa!!! (Link goes directly to a Windows Media Video File)
That is quite possibly the most amazing thing I will see this week. Wish I spoke Japanese…
Are these shirt-folding, Japanese-speaking ninja’s paying you for promoting their video, derek? On your blog, now here … :P
It is pretty cool, though.
No, they are just separate audiences, and it’s important that as many people as possible know how to fold their shirts like a ninja. I might even post it on the TeamPhotoshop homepage. :)
I showed it to my coworkers… one gushed over how much time it would save her. The other one said… “and they said there’s no useful information on the internet. Boy were they wrong!”
heh
Here is another movie I saw a while ago: Movie.
I do fold my T-shirts this way now. Its acutally quite fun. My mother, who is a journalist at a big danish news-paper, wrote an article about it :)
FYI, the language used in the video is chinese, so I don’t think understanding japanese would have helped you at all.
Whilst the folding method is pretty interesting, am I the only one who thinks the video is extremely weird?…
umm, no, the video is actually japanese. As a geek, I took japanese in high school and understood just about every word said in the video.
This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen. I’m a Shaolin monk studying English and computing and I thought I knew all the Ninja moves! Wait until my master hears about this!
dont be dumb. its in complete mandarin chinese.
As a Chinese person, I have determined that this video is Mandarin Chinese. The subtitles are in Traditional Chinese (ala Taiwan and Hong Kong). The speaker’s accent is Taiwanese. This is from the Taiwanese Central Broadcasting Station.
So does this mean… I need a refund on my japanese language classes? because I somehow understood what was said? Nah, People love to bull about what they ‘think’ they know.
No this means you just need to check your links ‘cos you didn’t watch the same video. One is in chinese the other one in japanese.
As simple as… folding a T-shirt
well as a trained ninja notice that yes it is Mandarin Chinese but they are Mandarin Chinese ninjas they are extremely gay and amazing at foldin clothes.
i forgot my i in well as a trained ninja i
Wow, it’s just the Karate Kid… except with laundry.
Fold, you good woman! Fold like there’s no tomorrow!
I finally have something for the skills page of my CV.
