old things found

My room is different than a year ago when I moved in.
I like rearranging stuff so that I can find things that I have forgotten. It is always like a treasure hunting. I like cleaning things up. Storing old useless stuff is totally wasting space. If I have not used some thing in a year, and if I don't feel finding a treasure, and if I don't feel a thing when I see it, I toss it away.
I do the same thing with my computerized things. Every time when I back my hard drive, I check if there's anything I can drag to the trash can and save some e-space.

My first computer was operated on Windows 95. I still have some stuff from that computer dinosaur era. I move them from computer to computer. I back them up again and again. I don't wanna lose them.
I kinda know what they are. I don't wanna open them because I will spend a lot of time, say viewing through all the pictures or reading all the old essays I wrote.

Even some folders that do not contain any personal memory are dangerously time-sucking.
In my backup hard drive, there are two folders named "illusion". In my computer, there is one with the same name. I want to make sure I don't overwrite or miss anything. I open them. I thought I would not get surprised by any visual illusion anymore. Oh no, illusion is art. Our visual system is fascinating.... I should probably start writing my research statement as I am so inspired now.
In the name of art and science, time can be killed.

Jumping dots... you just can't stop them from jumping.
Try stop moving your eyes.

See colors? They are simply black and white stripes.
But you see colors. I know. It's normal. Don't worry.

Aren't they cool?
So cool :)
Let me write another research proposal.
Old things found. My old motivation and pleasure in research is found.
