This is an awesome optical illusion.

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 green dot rotating.

Rick was kind enough to bring me the latest YMCA newsletter, cleverly titled “Zing-a-Ling!”

What a bummer. I was going to use that name for the Zing newsletter I send to clients… guess it’s back to the drawing board.

Remember the stunning victory for British and American anti-terrorism forces a few months ago, when they stopped a group of guys who were thinking about maybe outlining a plan to blow up some airplanes with liquids?

Well, it turns out two of those suspects were released today due to lack of evidence. That’s right– for months we’ve been subject to absolutely ridiculous security measures (I barely got through with my Carmex lip balm) because of this plot, and now we find out there really wasn’t much of a plot after all. Never mind that even if there was a plot, it wouldn’t have worked anyway, for about a hundred different reasons… including some pesky laws of physics.

If the terrorists haven’t won yet, heaven knows what it’ll take.

Following a particularly boneheaded request from a client, Craig had this to say:

$head = new CraigHead();
$head->set(“fore”, true);
$head->smack();

Awesome. And geeky.

Those crazy spammers are sure getting more clever. Now they’re sending e-mail messages with gigantic blue links in them:

Luckily they’re using easy-to-remember web site names, so I can return over and over to buy my “male performance” products. Why, just the other day I was thinking how I should visit okliondeyunjdefunpsade.com!

No, they’re not dead.

Laralee rented a DVD called Yoga for Athletes, and she and Kyra were using it the other day. I came upstairs from my office and found them laying on the floor like this. Apparently it’s some kind of exercise. Imagine how many calories they’re burning!
