As people once more discover that the "hacker glider" was picked by ESR, I will also point out that it inexorably moves to the right. I propose the inverted glider, one that moves upwards and to the left, indicating progress.

Putting an offer up again, had it on eBay for $20 OBO for a little over a week and a half now with no bites. <:\
