reading for Nov 14.

when i was reading this i thought a lot about how people really do see basic shapes.  we don't need all kinds of detail in order to recognize an object.

i thought of type too.  you know the thing floating around the internet that just has the first and the last letters of a word and all the other letters scrambled inside the word, but it's still legible. 

ie. grifafe  you can still recognize it as giraffe.  :)
