Pro (forward) crastinus (belonging to tomorrow)

Figure 1. A representative experiment in molecular frivolity.When it comes to serious during-work-hours procrastination, I'm willing to bet that among the protein structure function geeks, Pymol wipes the floor with Facebook, Twitter, the blogopshere, Angry Birds et al. combined.It's trick, of course, is to provide us with the self-justifying sensation that what we're actually doing is work. The illusion usually maintained until, in a moment of lucidity, one realizes that one has spent the last forty minutes creating something that looks like Figure 1: an ion channel's bottom in technicolor. I have no recollection as to what exactly the colors were meant to communicate to the reader of the review that I'm currently writing, but they do have a certain aesthetic ambiance that I find pleasing to the ocular apparatus.
