Simple Things Amuse Simple Minds...


Hey there readers,

It seems that I have been struck by the old saying:
"Inspiration hits you when you least expects it..."

Thoughts of what to post next had been running rampant in my mind, all day - resulting in only bits and pieces of ideas.

So, after giving up, and continuing to do research for my Photography class, I stumbled upon something. An (dodgy - unknown to me at the time) “Opinion Poll”, found on a professional Photographer’s web page.

The question read “Do you think *insert photographer’s name here* is Australia’s Best Nature Photographer. Yes or No.

I sat there, mouse hovering over the “yes” button, deep in thought. As I run through other Photographer’s names. I decided, that no, I wouldn’t say that this particular photographer was the best, as I drag my mouse across to ‘no’ and click. But nothing happened. I click again, only to realise, that once the mouse points to ‘no’, the button moves.
The idea of this type of thing, is not new, and many people have fallen victim to them before, but my thinking was like: “Huh, what is happening? This is a professional web page.”  But, I guess that was the aim of the poll, to trick people by the professional presentation.  I just wonder how many other people have fallen victim to the very same link. I know that I am a bit embarrassed to say that this did keep me quite amused, longer then one would hope.

You could say that “simple things amuse simple minds” but as for me? I am just going to blame it on being bored and overtired. J
