Step 1: Setup…get those hands ready.
Step 2: Contact…hold it there.
Step 3: Embrace…fold your thumb over the other hand and squeeze.
Hand Hugs are more meaningful than high fives yet less intimate than a traditional hug. You haven’t felt all warm and fuzzy inside until you’ve exchanged a hand hug with someone special.

Self-described on the Chrome Web Store as “Kinect for your computer,” Flutter’s comic book aesthetic is a fitting one considering comic books represent action through still images, while the application itself lets you use still gestures to perform actions on your computer.
What it Is:
The program uses your webcam to give you the ability to control various music and movie applications (iTunes, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Spotify and even PowerPoint) by simply gesturing your hand.
Installation:
After a brief, yet initially confusing installation period, and the swift paranoia that it was an elaborate hoax by the developers to control my webcam and spy on my shenanigans, I calibrated the program by using my held out palm (or Stop sign) for pause/play, a right-pointed thumb for next, and a left-pointed thumb for previous. It was pretty sweet to change my songs on iTunes, but I didn’t have it installed nearly long enough to reap the full benefits.
Final Thoughts:
Unfortunately, my computer has been experiencing some problems lately, so I uninstalled out of some weird “app installation remorse” and an attempt to lighten the number of programs I have installed. The gestures weren’t as responsive as I’d hoped, but when it worked it was pretty magical. Try it out for yourself if you’re curious. It’s free and you get to turn the program off if you don’t want your webcam to be consistently on.
Who’s going to take out the trash? Rock
Who’s going to clean up the dishes? Paper
Who gets to sleep on the beds in the hotel? Scissors
SHOOT!
Make a fist and you have rock. Stick your hand out flat for paper. Hold your index and middle fingers out in a v shape for scissors. Rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper cover rocks. No one move is better than the other making this a truly egalitarian game.
When you need to make a fair decision quickly, Rock Paper Scissors, also known as roshambo, is the best way to do it.
It’s a hell of a lot better than wasting time fighting, yelling, and attacking your friends with f-bombs. It’s an impartial judge that everybody listens to. Who ever argues about the results? Nobody does, because it’s impossible to question the results of Rock Paper Scissors. Play a best two out of three, or three out of five game if you want airtight results for making a decision.
Think you’re above using a “simple” hand game? Well, it was used in a legal context when a federal judge ordered opposing attorneys to use the game to settle a dispute. Rock Paper Scissors is greater than any argument a lawyer can muster, so you ca
Rock paper scissors competitions take place worldwide. Seriously, look some up. Cash prizes can get up to $50,000; that’s a serious amount of coin for a game we all learn in childhood.
Add dynamite to play as a trump card. I’ve heard fire can be used only once in your life for a quick win and water can be used as a way to defeat fire. There’s a version of the game that includes “lizard” and “Spock.” With a little bit of creativity, this game can be expanded upon and brought into tons of fun directions. Just make sure your opponents are aware of these new rules beforehand, otherwise they will use their perfectly positioned Paper-hand to slap the shit outta you.
Do you use strategy when playing rock paper scissors, or are you a random thrower?
