      Found the little sweet spot where it balances almost perfectly.
      After that, I just didn't have motivation to keep it up longer.

      Fun though... Took me about 19 tries just to figure out how to do it.

      move the mouse left and right to keep it pointing down. move it in the direction that it's tipping. i.e. if the mouse is pointing down-right (the tail is tipping to the left), move it left.

      Damn, it's hard for me because I use a laptop with the touch pad.

      took about a dozen tries to figure it out. it's easiest to balance it so it slightly leans one way, and then make small corrections every 2-3 seconds before it gains momentum. when you reach one side, switch directions...
