News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Have you taken those 'spinning ballerina' personality tests?

When I first encountered this, I did what I always do with optical illusions. I try for a 'no-mind' state, and see if I can get the illusion to 'flip' (see the 'young woman/old woman' illusion). This one was pretty easy to do as well, took a few 2-3 minute practice sessions. It's good to know exactly which part of my brain I had setup a feed-back loop for, the perception of looking 'down' or 'up' at something. Crazy.
