Spot on!

A recent speaker at an IT sercurity conference said "If you obsess about counting things, you miss the obvious." - He actually used that same video as a demonstration of his point, almost everyone in the audience reckon'd there were 14 passes made.

I didn't spot it until the second pass of the video though.

Focus right in the middle and then, when you look away, look at something that isn't a plain surface (like your keyboard for example) and fix your gaze on a single point. It's as if someone is using some digital effect to distort what you see, there's no fire effect really, it's closer to heat haze than anything else really. Very weird though.

Ride safe people, and dont assume anyone knows you are there

Reckon we'd all have spotted him if he was wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket
