I'm amazed by the stereogram's! They'd probably work better if I didn't have a glass eye. ID: 145337 · |

This one is really, really cool! Get about 6 inches from you monitor and stare for a while letting you eyes focus. You will see the cool 3D effect.... >:-) <p align="center">  </p>CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Another unmentioned effect, that I just discovered is this: While you have the 3D focus, without losing it, put you finger up between you and the monitor, without touching the monitor. It gives the illusion of being able to actually touch the 3D effect. This is so cool!!!! >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

(heheh And I was thinking it was just old age...) Those are really cool. I try to pinpoint the moment I go from not seeing the 3D images to seeing them, but it just happens in a no blink of the eye.

[font='courier,courier new']...explains my astigmatism...[/font] Isn't that mostly the same? Coding too much => ignoring potential partner => no sex => bad eyes "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me

Coding too much => ignoring potential partner => no sex => bad eyes And I think we can reverse that: Bad eyes => ignoring/not seeing potential partner => no sex => coding because no partner to have sex with! And on it goes! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me
