while it's true of many a thing
I can't help but look at at that and think, well done, you have perfected something that is completely useless :D

That's probably not a good discussion to start
how many hobbies, interests, skills, call them what you will, fall into that category? Photoshopping pics for B3ta comps is definitely in the good-but-useless category. Great skill and technique involved, takes lots of practice to become good at it, will amuse a few people, but ultimately useless.
As an owner of a few yo-yos, juggling balls, etc. I happily fall into that category too.

which is why I started with "while it's true of many a thing"
I'd argue that perfecting Photoshop is a little more useful in getting a job than making a tennis ball look like it is a floating immovable object though :D

Who? Happy Toast or Mr Wobbly Legs with a ball?
Admirable if it was the latter.

For you, yes.. for him?
When you start talking about usefulness it's a path into the deep dark, where you're only a few steps away from discussing the meaning of life.
Just sayin' - that's all :)
