+I greatly enjoy the concept of the Useless Machine. A thing made for the joy of it.
+It might do nothing at all and just look neat, or it could do something over and
+over that doesn't provide any "value". But it does provide value.
+Because I look at it and I smile and that's enough.
+
+That's all to say, I made a set of useless things. Just a few GIF that count to some
+numbers. The greatest of which is nearly half a gigabyte large and would take over
+a week to watch.
