About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information.

In short, "information is in the eye of the beholder." Continue reading much more all-ado-about this Blogosphere

(The King Kong version was released the same day as the film.)<< Read the full news story
