Hello, I must apologise for my absence over the past few days… ok weeks. I have been mega busy with work and doing some freelance design, and re-designing the main part of my website… I intend to apply that style to this blog (when I find the hours), so any comments would be nice. I have also started another blog, but more about that later. I have also started teaching myself to write php and mysql which is not as much fun as you’d think.
So anyway. Today’s question is based on this thing I found while perusing the interweb as I do.
I found this video of a woman spinning around, and don’t even ask me how it works, cause it makes me fill ill thinking about it… it’s like when I think about how big the universe is, when I feel overwhelmed I feel ill.
So anyway this woman is spinning around. I see her going clockwise and can’t understand why anyone could not see her going clockwise, but Sarah can and so can other people.
If you can see her going clockwise apparently you use the right-hand side of your brain more, and if you see her going anti-clockwise… you’re a freak of nature and you use the left-hand side of your brain more, which is the useful side of your brain.
Click here to see the spinning woman… then come back here and tell me if you see her going clockwise or anti-clockwise.

I’ve tried and tried, but I can’t see her spinning counter-clockwise to save my life! It’s sort of frustrating, but I think I get it, almost. It’s like watching fan blades or car wheels spin, except those, I can actually reverse. I’m not sure why this one is so persistent, though.
P.S. Welcome to the world of right-brained explanations.

No way! I’ve attempted a new design (which is shocking compared to yours) and I was trying to teach myself PHP! (not SQL yet.. databases confuse me… I had this whole script thing working where you could enter your age and it’d tell you whether I was older, younger or the same age but I tried to put bits together and compact it and now it’s screwed). Good luck with yours, I’ve already given up.
Your new design at the main website is bloody brilliant. The ‘O’ in fanboy particularly.
I can only see her going clockwise… It’s sorta like when you watch other cars wheels and all of a sudden it looks like they’re going backwards?? But you just start movie your eyes in the opposite direction to the rotation and it changes… this bitch is different - she won’t change directions.
