Nice. Did you do that in flash? or is that an animated GIF?

Dude, no- look closely at it: they're not moving at all! The movement is an actual optical illusion! That is SOOO cool, I was geeking out over this for like 6 minutes straight! Nicely done :)...

Oh, damn- I missed your j/k: I thought u were serious, don't I feel stupid now.....:$....oh well, if we can't laugh at ourselves, what can we do? The part about it being uber-cool still stands, though.

I was wondering, What if we witness natural illusions like this in nature and our mind and we dont even know it?

Thanks for the headache! ;)

Yep, I like it, dig it. Shifting my eyes back-n-forth, gettin' the rippling effect. Not quite exactly *soothing* (empathy/compassion to those who found it bothersom), but it's definitely *fascinating*...Happy Labor Day to all!
