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 [...]

The Beatles RockBand

The Beatles Rockband cinematic intro is AWESOME. You HAVE to see it. Now I have to buy the game because the animation alone is worth 70$. (you have to watch it on the original website to get the HD quality)

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 [...]
