Another geeko test

.

Please bear with me again. I want to see if Blogger has improved and will now accommodate animated .gif files. A while back, I had spent quite a fews hours making the animation A Thank You from Brou only to find that, within a few weeks, it would no longer play on the main page and that you had to click on the image for it to play on another screen.

So here is an eye-teaser sent to me by
Alphonse Da Moose. I happen to love eye and brain teasers and I think you will enjoy this one as well. I even examined it frame by frame in an animation program to make sure that it was genuine.

Read the instructions and the commentary on what you willing be 'seeing' and then click on the image if it doesn't function on this page.

====================================================

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.

However if you stare at the black " + " in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single rotating green dot.

It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This is proof that we don't always see what we think we see.

The Luddite Ventures Out

.
Forgive me for sharing a techno experiment with you here. I have been fascinated with this movie feature ever since Blogger introduced the capability a couple of weeks ago. Mark and I got a laugh out of this one tonight (I think it came from pal John E. in Phoenix). Don't try it if you can't handle a 2 meg download, okay? Here goes:







I will continue our regular journal by very late Friday night. BIG day tomorrow since I am going to make my semi-annual trip into town. Hopefully the doctor will have something encouraging for me to report. Wish me luck, okay?

The temperatures dropped down to 28F during the last couple of nights. We're into Fall, no doubt about it now. Time to get the last of our winterizing projects done!
