During the recent Twestival at the Vancouver Lookout, I played around with the iPad 2 camera and photobooth using the kalidescope mode.
I think the results turned out pretty cool, if not a little Inception-esque. Being on top of Vancouver probably helped too:
The Seabus couldn’t escape either:
Even night shots turned out pretty interesting:
A little low resolution but interesting art nonetheless.
This past weekend, I had a chance to attend the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo (aka PAX) in Seattle, Washington. I’ve always wanted to attend but it’s usually been on the same weekend as my anniversary so it just didn’t work out before now. PAX is pretty much SXSW for the videogame set….including conference sessions, a…
My recent trip to Whistler was filled with good times including getting to be on hand for the 2010 FIBT World Cup bobsleigh and skeleton events at the Whistler Sliding Centre. I never had a chance to visit the Sliding Centre during the Olympics (I couldn’t be everywhere at once!) so it was especially cool…
I was warned that pin trading is a HUGE part of every Olympic Games and Scales & kk couldn’t have been more right These guys are HUGE pinheads :) Here’s just a small sampling of what I scored during the games: Of course, the fact that Apple had Canadian pins was pretty cool: But this…
I finally got past my long list of excuses for not using my recently purchased kayak and took it for it’s inaugural run. Costco had a deal that I passed up last year that I couldn’t pass up this year. I’ve had inflatable watercrafts before (including a fun sit-on inflatable kayak) but it just isn’t…
Thanks to Warren, who interviewed me recently for my thoughts on the upcoming iPhone App Store and what it will mean for people currently enjoying Installer on their iPhones. I think it just hit newstands today, so check out page 15 of the August issue. I guess I’m officially an iPhone expert because it’s in…
After a last minute decision, I ended up heading to Seattle for the weekend with my girlfriend. Part of this trip was to check out the Emerald City ComiCon. Turns out I should have planned to spend a lot more time there than I had this time around as the event is massive! I only…

Sorry, John. I played around with the still camera front and back. I wouldn’t really call it much of a camera. I’m quite impressed by the weight and thickness, white is sexy, speed seems marginally faster (at least in GarageBand). Gonna have to wait to see what they do next time!
I completely agree the cameras are very weak on the iPad 2 and confirms my initial thoughts that they are an unnecessary thing except for maybe FaceTime but even then, despite being thinner/lighter, I wouldn’t want to hold it for long during a video chat. I just had a little fun with them regardless but until they are higher resolution, won’t see much use by me.
