    ... I don't really see anything, unless that's part of the illusion.

    Okay, it works in Explorer but not in Firefox for some reason. That was pretty cool!

    Oh, dang.  Thanks for checking it out in IE, Tin.  I forgot that the embed code isn't cross browser friendly.

    Glad you enjoyed it.  :-)

    Music?  I didn't hear any music!  On the video I posted?  Oh, I can barely hear it.  I think my little laptop speakers don't reproduce it that well.
