It's all got a bit fragmented around here recently - lots of high-definition things, none of which take any length of time.
I've just noticed that the last circle in the image above appears to extend out of the plane of the screen by about a millimetre. Now I know that this is simply an illusion created by the interference of pixels and the frequency of the AC flashes of the lights but for a second I was wondering if the two-dimensional representation of multi-dimensional objects had somehow left an impression of those dimensions. Rudy Rucker's book talked about Flatland having a minuscule third dimension to facilitate the existence and movements of the inhabitants. Unfortunately this picture resembles The Millennium Dome.
