Sailing on Lac Champlain

A couple of weeks ago, I bought the excellent Lumix LX3, which is currently the best point-and-shoot camera you can get (I think). This camera also shoots HD video in 720p. I had the chance to test it out this weekend on a day of sailing on the Lac Champlain. Enjoy! Make sure you visit the [...]

DeLorean DMC-12 1983

Sometimes, life is very nice with me. As when I stop by a local fast-food chain to get some fries for a BBQ party and the car next to me is an original 1983 DeLorean DMC-12. I’m also a bit lucky when the driver sees me taking pictures and invites me to sit inside. That [...]

Datamoshing

When my friend Maxyme showed my this video clip of Welcome to Heartbreak by Kanye West, I was amazed by how they generated and controlled the video compression artifacts. Original. I loved it. Today I saw Chairlift’s Evident Utensil videoclip, which uses the same technique. I think this one is even better. From the Wikipedia entry on [...]

Nest Box with camera

Pro-Idee are selling a bird nest box equipped with a wireless camera and microphone that plugs in your TV. This is a great idea. Instead of buying this, I made a note to myself to build one with my future kids. Also, ours will stream live on the web and I bet we’ll get six [...]
