It’s All In How You Look At It

I’m sure that you’ve probably seen those images that different people see different ways. Some people see the image of a vase, and others see the faces of two people looking at each other. There are some cases where people can’t see the other image at all.

For the last few months one of the other companies that share the building I work in has had a poster hanging from the cafeteria door. This poster is for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It is a large poster that covers the upper half of the door. Most of the poster is devoted to some images of the kids you could help out by donating, along with a description of their wish. Along the bottom is a strip of space devoted to tracking the total donations to date. You simply color in the bar graph as the donations climb. This area isn’t just white space, or graduated with percentages of the goal. There is an image there, and it’s not just one image, it’s a pattern of the same image repeated along the length of the area.

As I said, this has been hanging for months. The whole time I have been wondering, “Why would they have a poorly drawn outline of Idaho on that poster?” I just couldn’t figure it out - until today.

Today was the day that I walked past the poster, and like the vase and faces image, the true nature of the appearance of the bad outline of Idaho revealed itself to me. It’s not the state of Idaho, because you are not supposed to be looking at the black area of the image.

The white area of the image is the profile of a face.

Lesson of the day - try to look at something you see everyday in a different way, you might be surprised.

New Site Announcement

A little bit of news today. I’ve decided to setup a couple of new sites to handle posts for more specific topics. These topics have proved especially popular here and I thought that warranted special attention.

The first site is called Right Pedal Logic. This site will focus on topics related to driving on city streets and highways. It will include anything relating to driving, including references to local driving laws were applicable.

The second site is called Minnesota Biker Blog. Here I will focus on topics related to motorcycling. It will include ride stories and other posts of interest to those of us who ride motorcycles.

Six Great Beer Sites

I like beer. Here are some sites for you to read about beer.

1. Why light beer, no matter if you spell it “light” or “lite”, is nasty. - Beer Advocate

“People who drink light ‘beer’ don’t like the taste of beer; they just like to pee alot.” -Capital Brewery, Middleton, WI

2. Some truly awesome beer. - Surly Brewing Company

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” -Benjamin Franklin

3. How Beer Works at How Stuff Works

“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” - Dave Barry

4. The history of beer.

“24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?” -Stephen Wright

5. What part of beer don’t you understand?

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.” -Frank Zappa

6. Cook with beer.

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.’” - Deep Thought, Jack Handy
