Reminds me of a story I read about a functional autistic woman. The story was fascinating, a glimpse into the mind of a savant.

She was being interviewed, and as the two were walking down the street, the woman began whistling a strange tune. Her interviewer asked where she had heard the song. The autistic woman replied that the birds wrote it, and pointed to the overhead power lines. She was reading the birds as notes on a stanza.

Some of the musical Blogmockrateers ought to give that a shot when stumped for inspiration, and post the results on The Overnight Open Thread.

I miss days like this.

I love .gif animations just for their simplicity. This particular type is a lenticulation, taking two images about 2-1/2 inches a part and animating them for a 3D effect.  Originally a novelty printing process for stereoscopic viewing, now it’s reduced to blogfodder for a wiggly Overnight Open Thread.

Looks like a waste of a tintype, but I suspect that she was a popular comedienne.  That early wet photographic process required that she sit still in that pose for several minutes. Apparently the tintype sold on Ebay last year for $200, and now it’s offered on an Overnight Open Thread for free.
