Eye stuff
Posted: May 12th, 2005 | Author: Jay | Filed under: Quickies, Science | 3 Comments »been finding a few interesting links about eyes lately.
The Eye Color Calculator is a pretty slick flash app to find out What Color Eyes Would Your Children Have?
The color blindness webfilter runs your webpage through a filter so you can see how ugly it is to me. Set it to Protanopia to see like I see.
I’ve been trying it out, and I don’t see any difference. So either the filter is broken, or works really well.
Update: a trichromate tried out the filter for me. apparently it is working.
More people need to see this. If I had a nickel for every jealous person who looked at Lena’s pretty blue eyes and said “Oh, those will change.”
When I said, “no, her father and I both have blue eyes.” they invariably said “Doesn’t matter. They’ll change.”
I had to work hard to resist saying “Your lack of attention in Biology 101 notwithstanding, science says they’ll be blue.”
Five months, and counting…and they are still blue.

I mean, more than my cooking normally makes people afraid to eat. Filed under: General, Fitness, All Batman Wacky, what I learned today, Food — Jay @ 1:09 pm [...]
