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 weekend I attended the 3rd installment of TEDxVancouver. It was held at the Chan Centre out at UBC which is a stunning place to witness any kind of event or performance. In this case, a thousand people came out for the day to listen to speakers from all different backgrounds and disciplines. I was…
Apple’s latest version of their OS X operating system, named Snow Leopard is now available for preorder at Amazon.com. It’s due to be released at the end of September. It’s not on any Canadian sites yet for preorder but I’ll update this post when it is. It’s a pretty slick update to Leopard (10.5) and…
Last week, I had the chance to ride the Alberta Train to Whistler. Yes you read that right…although I didn’t go to Alberta, for a good part of the day, I was treated like I was in Alberta. Normally, the train is the Rocky Mountaineer but Travel Alberta had rented it out for the duration…
If you are thinking of upgrading to Apple’s new OSX 10.5 (aka Leopard), you might want to take a look at this post on MacFixIT (and all it’s comments) to see if any ‘important to you’ apps are on the no-fly list. I haven’t had any issues since doing a clean install on my iMac,…
I get asked multiple times a day about getting an iPhone and using it in Canada. It was always fun to help friends unlock their iPhones. Until now. Ever since the 1.1.2 firmware made it’s appearance (around build week 45 for those keeping score), there hasn’t been a working software unlock for these phones. You…

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.
