Stereograms

A fantastic set of 3-D Stereogram macros at Flickr.

From the site:

These can be viewed as is by slightly de-focusing your eyes and then cross them until an image appears in the middle and then relax your eyes to get a stable 3-D image. It's worth the trouble! But don't overdo it if you have difficulty- try again later.(headache warning)



I used to have several posters like these on my living room wall. My pop used to come over and stare at them, trying his darndest to see the effect. It was so funny when he finally got them to "come together".

"You darn near have to cross your eyes!" he exclaimed.

That's very near the case, but it's more like the instructions say to do: defocus your eyes. After dad figured out what to do, I bought him a large magazine with quite a few more stereograms.

Give it a try! There are 1200 to choose from!

I find the past and present political odium to be particularly odious.

How Much Sugar?

From the website Sugar Stacks:

Would you eat a stack of 16 sugar cubes?

A label can tell you there are 39 grams of sugar in your soda, but what does that much sugar look like?



We've used regular sugar cubes (4 grams of sugar each) to show how the sugars in your favorite foods literally stack up, gram for gram.

Compare foods, find out where sugar is hiding, and see how much of the sweet stuff you're really eating.

Raining in My Heart - Buddy Holly

Rain, Rain, Go Away

You Are Rain

You are dark and dramatic. You tend to be a bit over the top. You have strong emotions and they can change quickly. You are tempestuous. You are wild and unpredictable. You tend to overwhelm and surprise people. While you are aggressive, you are also a homebody. You don't really care for physical activities.

Are You Rain or Snow?
