that's jeffrey martin's site
he made a cool spherical video camera out of webcams for $500!

Hey all:

watch this space for more. Had lunch with ArkanGL and his lovely partner, and oh..William Gibson yesterday. Got a spherical video shot. Still processing.

In the meantime many people yelled to get my shots together in one place so I did.

check out the skiing with rock music we did the other day...

So lunch with william gibson yesterday:

but the audio I recorded is corrupted

The file is big enough, I just forgot to stop recording and shut down the machine instead.

anyone know any magic on these files that could bring that back to life?

Look at us, giggling like a bunch of kids

there were a lot of other frames where people looked more dour, but this one with Mr Gibson waving his hands around the camera was funny...

Not bloddy damn much. Three comments:

1) Mr. Gibson, as Famous People® go, is one hell of a mensch. A kind, courteous, generous soul. Blessings be 'pon his beasts.

2) That guy at next table knew something global-killing was going on 16.5 inches away from his personal space. Who's this guy? Al Gore?? Must be Al Gore. Or Doctor Phil Nader. Whoever invented the interweb. Fuck. I'd better check my bank balance... Oh, crap.

3) Mrs. Frog is smokin' hawt™ even when caught in the grips of full webcam distortion. I have no excuse to offer for not murdering her husband when I had several the chance s.

Uh. Where was I?

Thank you, good sir.

You're only alive because you survived my cooking.

Lucky boy.

Weird. What's wierder is you can see the footage, in the footage, on that laptop.

Link to the hardware?

i wonder if in that shot there is yet another laptop and shot previewing.

I tried to get that lots of times in other lighting conditions and it was always too blown out to work...That was cool.

too bad mr gibson is sitting exactly on the parallex error.

Arkan appears to be hypnotised by the camera, and Mrs Arkan does a great facial shrug!

I'm a geek, and she's not.
That's why.

Well, Louis, don't ever try robbing a bank, because you probably won't stop looking at the cameras...
