She describes the reason this is so awesome better than I can, but if you don’t have the time to read a big writeup, just let me say this: I challenge you to watch this video and not smile. These people remember what it’s like to get lost in the moment and be happy, rather than worrying about keeping up appearances, and it’s awesome — and contagious.

I’m glad I did, because I came across this gem of a bug report, captured here for posterity.
