Still working on rant, but in the meantime...

I'm still working on a more substantial blog, but I thought I'd talk briefly about a very cool phenomena that I was made aware of today, that of Inattentional Blindness.

You see, I am preparing for a certain legal discussion and it was suggested to me that I should raise the issue of Inattentional Blindness. So, I decided to research this a little bit.

Here's a test that you can try and then tomorrow or so, I will explain further. For now, simply watch the video at the following link: http://viscog.beckman.illinois.edu/flashmovie/15.php . Watch the video ONLY ONCE. Your task in watching the video is to pay close attention to the white team as they pass the basketball. Please count only direct passes between the players in white, DO NOT count bounce passes. Let me know if you like, but at least remember how many direct passes there were between the players in white only.

What has this got to do with diving? Something very critical actually. I will discuss the diving connection soon and come back to this video....
