Cosmic Bubbles

for anagrams, that is. I decided to get it done so I could go on to something else. The anagram is two done separately then put together, AND, for a little change up, I am using text that is part of the illustration itself.  So, using the text as I said, the text, “and they always figure in the tip…me” anagrams to: “I’m up far away, this eye tingled, then the greys play with A.I. mind, a fun tee.”

Kinda’ fun, don’t you think? Time to watch the doctor…BBC

Here’s the collage of the day:

 I know I am having way too much fun with this, but after posting my last post, u.v.vision, I went with the flow and found fish vision. Yeah, I didn’t even know there was such a thing.

I laughed even more. I read, “fish vision never fades, doesn’t need to be re-charged, always glows and no lighted needed.” I guess I can do their next commercial now, too.

Life is funny; I understand fish vision on a whole other level; I must be out of my mind.

I went the next step and found another name for that company in a different ad, bird vision. There was no link from the first page to the second page, but somehow, the way my mind works I got to the second one, which shows a link to the first.  Things connect.

I continued on my “vision” connection and came to the butterfly, which has Omnivision. It sees all around. Omni, you know.The image the butterfly sees, is in the form of a mosaic. Mosaic? Mosaic. The butterfly has trichromatic vision like humans, but there is a difference.The butterfly perceives colors in a high frequency, the lowest is red, so it is blind to red.

For a while today I had u.v.vision, as in ultra violet. As bright as it is/was, I was just out there too long without sunglasses. It’s not snow blindness, only because I wasn’t out there that long to cause pain or injury to the eye. Just “purple vision” or “u.v. vision”, which while it lasted was kinda’ cool, but… The sun is certainly bright now, and blue sky and clouds are now the order of the day. I won’t complain about a little purple haze. I didn’t get much of a snow house made, but I had fun being outside for a little while.

The sun’s been out about while, so it’s doing its job, the street is now clear. My horoscope, “You’ve got two equally important tasks that are pulling you in opposite directions.” Gee, let’s see, clear off the front porch and sidewalk or the back steps. Eenie, meanie…

“Make the choice and stick with it — you should be able to deal with the outcome over the next few days or so.” Well, the sun is out, and really, whether I shovel or not it the sun will take care of it in the next couple of days, because it will get warmer.  Don’t you love those horoscopes? The beau convinced me I had done enough outside today. I agree. That snow’s heavy.

Back to u.v.vision…

Did you know that birds see ultraviolet light?It appears that UV vision has been been found in over 40 species, it’s a diurnal thing in birds and bees, great for flower vision. Ultraviolet vision in mammals is rare, a few rodents and marsupials, but there are also people who see in ultraviolet. some temporarily, some permanently. I did for 10 minutes. It was interesting the way everything looked. I found an interesting link about it too, online.

The writer says, “You don’t have to come from another planet to see ultraviolet light.” Is that like the sign I have mentioned that hangs on the wall at SETi that says, “you don’t have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!” I can pretty much say that about anything, just fill in the blank, “you don’t have to be crazy to_______but it helps!” Yeah, it just might be the difference. 

Everyone knows I see things funny anyway.

Wonderful…

SNOW FALL RATES WITHIN THIS INTENSE SNOW BAND WILL APPROACH 2 INCHES PER HOUR…WITH VISIBILITIES FALLING TO PRACTICALLY ZERO. PERSONS SHOULD NOT VENTURE ON AREA ROADWAYS THIS MORNING…AS TRAVEL WILL BECOME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Nothing slows the drivers down on the road I live on. The sign does NOT say minimum speed 30 it just says speed limit 30. Of course, if no one else is on  the road, why slow down, you can still see the edge!? We have about 8 inches on the ground now. I heard Cincy (my hometown) has a blizzard. I need to think about what kind of sculpture I can make in a short amount of time (since it’s cold) to make use of this packing-perfect snowfall! I’d like to go out to take photos but the batteries are dead in the camera. The logicam just doesn’t really do the scenery justice.

I’m still on cristatas from yesterday. One of the “cristatas” I came across yesterday, in my stream of consciousness flow, was a mole, the star-nosed mole (condylura cristata).  Hard to say what kind of mole is in the comics today, lol. It’s also hard to say why I go back to certain subjects. What do I expect to find? Just another connection. I need a photo of the mole, don’t I? Notice the large fossorial forelegs which are typical of all moles. Condylura cristata is one of the most distinctive mammal species. Its nose is hairless and is ringed by a unique ’star’ of 22 pink, fleshy tentacles.

I am in stream of consciousness, so that which is on the page is what happened in the order it happened. And what happened was I just noticed when I went back to one of the pages for some info, then went to a page I had not been to for a photo there was something else that connects to something I already wrote in a weird way “Laboratory tests have shown that C. cristata seems to be drawn to batteries placed underwater as well as to the areas of strongest electrical activity on prey items. If true, C. cristata and the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) are the only mammals known to possess this ability.“

Maybe it is just today’s word of the day, kismet. That makes me think of Kismet, the robot.  Obviously, I am in the stream here.

Kismet is a cute little guy, isn’t he? Kismet is an MIT robot that simulates human emotion and appearance. Well, to some extent, anyway. He can be fairly expressive. Kismet, fate, destiny. Where was I? Connections, cristatas.

Sounds like it should be something warm for breakfast, doesn’t it? Cristatas.

Another cristata, the Cyanocitta cristata, is the blue jay, those annoyingly loud blue jays you hear once spring gets going. I do wish spring would get going. I can appreciate the quietness outside today though, since traffic is low today. There is something else to appreciate with all the snow. A snow emergency keeps all non-emergency traffic off the road! It is strangely and wonderfully quiet out there.

Yeah! Back to cristatas. I got on all these cristatas because of the “celosians” yesterday. You’d think I’d be talking about those brainy looking  plants, a.k.a. the cockscomb. But I could be talking about the brain in the jar, too. A.I. that sorta’ thing. There are many forms of cristatas, celosians being my favorite I think, but this form is certainly nice, too.

It is a strange and wonderful world we live in, isn’t it?

two posts yesterday: circular thought and today is/was different.
