Here is yet another Optical Delusion to confound your eyes. I did a little exparamentation with this one. I found by changing the colors the illusion of motion could almost be removed. The attached image uses Gif animation to switch between the two states every 3 seconds. Please note, only the colors have been changed and the values reversed. I wish i knew how the colors had this effect.

Well, i’ve been out of blog mode for a while. Since my last post i’ve been “memed” 4 times. It’s time to respond. Jeff Gray, started this meme, sharing how much you’ve traveled.
create your own visited country map
On the national map, please notice the 2 tiny dots near Japan, which i had to add by hand: Guam and Saipan. I really liked Siapan, even though the national food is Spam—seriously. Also i chose to be scrupulous and not count Japan, since i never left the airport terminal.
My total: 5 countries or 2% (though Siapan and Guam are under US administration)
create your own personalized map of the USA
Some observations about my stateside travel. On the east coast, i find the landscape of states further north almost universally more attractive than states to the south. Besides the ocean, Florida IMHO had the most bland and depressing landscape i’ve ever seen. The further away you get the better things look. In general i prefer the “personality” of the West half of our nation, and will probably end up over there eventually.
My total: 23 states or 45%
Now i’m supposed to chose 5 bloggers to pass this on to. Unfortunately i can’t find that many who haven’t already posted a travel meme.
