My name is Abby, and I am an internet addict. I am now #14 overall on collabrank.org. Sigh. I’m moving to Boston, so I’m tagging like a crazy person. I can’t help myself!

Following rule #8 – hi.

This link is a good one to throw up.

Got here by trying out http://collabrank.org and finding abbyladybug is the leader in tagging boston. Tracked it down and now I find its not an Abby in Boston at all. I am at http://del.icio.us/gilh.

Illusion #3 doesn’t change by moving the mask ove the crosses when I do it. One still appears gray and the other yellow. The other two illusions “work”.. Maybe all this proves is that no two people’s color perception is exactly the same, etc., etc., etc. Or maybe there is a discrepancy among the various screen’s coloring re-creation, i.e., no two snowflakes or machines are exactly the same. Dunno, but it was fun.

Nah, I think it’s legit. I dunno it is too small to tell, but I don’t see the swatch changing colors. Gestalt-y!

This is BOGUS. Because the swatch gets lighter as it moves around the page in Illusion # 1

Try it on the white area only (border)and you’ll see it’s a lighter gray swatch on the lower half of the white border around the square chess-board than it is on the top of the page.

Sorry, but this one is a No-Go since it’s a fake illusion.
