Do iMac users have all the fun?

Well, maybe. But I was playing with my Logitech quickcam this evening (I never use it) for a little amusement and I found out that it can do some of those weird distortion tricks that we've all come to associate with the clever iMacs.

Can't remember what sort of dog this is ... perhaps it's just an aristocrat ....


The brain from Pinky and The Brain ...


Obviously, the following is how a donkey-human cross would laugh ...


And how it would look if cast for Jaws ...


Or maybe for Shrek 4 ...


I'm of German descent ... figure this out for yourself ...


I must say that I laughed out loud for a couple of minutes ... I think Vista and Logitech may have broken Apple's hegemony on fun ...

OASIS in Ottawa, 4 September 2008

Wicked concert last night. Liam seemed aloof, but of course that's his thing. Noel sang often and Liam left the stage every time. I couldn't tell if these was tension between them, but I don't remember Liam getting very close to Noel, who hung out on far stage right all night. I did get one pretty good shot of them standing close together ... but close still means 10 or 15 feet :-)

So here are some images from the evening ... I shot these with my concert camera, a Fujifilm Finepix F11, never sold in North America, purchased on eBay as a gray market camera.

First song:


Dramatic lighting at times:




Liam's vanity shot :-)


Noel's ...


And the audience about to leave ...


I shot a video that had 700 views on YouTube in 26 hours ... I'm impressed with the volume. I plan on posting a cleaner version shortly, as the video is a little weak. Anyway, here's the
link to that video:
