Oh, and I was forced to buy more RAM today.

I got a haircut!   

Did you go for the Elvis quiff then?? 

Nah, just my usual short layered look doo.  I just used that emoticon, because it was the only one that deals in a way with hair.

I love that emoticon  although I've no idea what these ones are supposed to be

I realised that my age-old pooter needed a boost when I tried to run Google Earth and a dozen other apps at the same time. So I was forced to buy more RAM.

The clerk asked "you do know that they don't make this type of RAM anymore?" I said "Yes, obviously, my computer is more than five years old."

[Lucifer]

google earth, eh? 

weeeeell, that might just have something to do with something you want to know, which i haven't told you so far.

(yes, i am being cryptic as fuck  ).

Had a guy from Rising Sun Research come in to work today to do a presentation on color calibration techniques.

I didn't know that an LCD monitor took 90 minutes from being turned on for its output to level out to the point where you could safely do film color work....

Or that turning it off and turning it on again would make the white point stabilize in a slightly different place, so it would need a new LUT.... (that's why they tell us not to turn our monitors off!)

He also showed us some amazing optical illusions.

One of them:

The two marked squares are the same RGB color.

Which two squares?  The dark one and the light one that is in the shadow?  The dark ones all look the same color to me, except that there is an apparent shadow cast by the green cylinder.

My interest in photography and its inadequacies has led me to a study of Dr. Adelson's work. He is touchingg on some areas of perception that some autisctics can see beyond. I can recommend a bit of time spent on his study.

try these, to start.
If you follow the lonk she postted you will finsd a site with a few opticall illlusions to enjoy.

I don't really get the point of a lot of those picture things that get passed around the net- must be getting old.

OH, the idea here is that the "white" squares in the deepest shadow light are the same value as the darkest squaers in the brightest light. Our minds corrrect for the three dimmmensionall image by making them appear different.
