I can't believe I didn't think of cross-linking this picture and this one before now...

Success!
Success, I say!

FrumDad: That's GREAT! I have got to stop smiling, close my browser and get to work or I will spend too much time trying to think of links between the TPODS- thanks so much for the clever distraction.

Ben, where did you find those black and white designs or did you make them?

Valerie, he just took a picture of a nearby river, threw it into Photoshop, converted it to black and white, and then used the "Enhance" feature.

And because I'm not cruel, I'll point you to This post. Check out the comments, especially the end ones.

For the record, I also spent a month or two totally not realizing that he was kidding.

Valerie: Frumdad is right. Photoshop's "Enhance" feature is responsible for most of the visual content on the site. Are you (or anyone else) interested in those patterns? If so, it wouldn't be much work for me to throw them in a PDF and post it on the site. Let me know-

If you could that would be great my friend just had a baby on Sunday and i thought maybe he could us them to interact if it wasnt a problem for you to do it.

benmac: I've always liked the pictures. Very cool art!
Have you come to any conclusion that they actually worked, as you had hoped, on your subject: Project #07312003?

Malinda: No problem. Check back by the end of the weekend.

lori: Considering Trixie doesn't talk, I'm pretty sure those design patterns caused permanent damage to the speech area of her brain. But I don't see any reason why we shouldn't expand the trial and get conclusive results.

Ben, I wouldn't worry too much about Trixie not talking yet. They say it's common for girl's motor skills to start later...than boys. (I believe there's been talk about this topic before.) I'm the oldest & I started talking around her age. She's probably taking everything in right now and those pictures stimulated her mind so she'll be ahead of her peers. She seems to be mature for her age and I wouldn't be surprised if, when she starts talking, she'll be speaking in sentences!

Yes, those designs would be great to have because all I have on my son's wall right now is a mirror and a shelf. Thanks so much!

Because you asked for it: The Trixie Update Human Infant Visual Stimulation Design Pattern Kit is now available.

Pretty neat, but now you've created a market for blindfolds for cats. :)
