Like sands through the hourglass...

With the horsepower my nifty new webcam computer has, I can now create time lapse movies from my webcam shots. The camera takes a grab from the camera every five minutes and adds it to the movie. At the end of the day (Midnight), it starts a new file. Here's the movie from yesterday (4/9/02):


Click play button to play movie
If you can't see the above movie, that's YOUR problem. It was made with QuickTime 4 with the Cinepak codec. Don't call or email me and tell me that you can't see the movie. I really could care less. Don't you love customer service? :)

Pretty nifty. I like how it looks like I was asleep late in the afternoon. Who knows, maybe I was! Do you think this is something I should post more often? Chime in in the comments area!

That's really cool!

Too bad I can't even see the link, or the movie, or whatever it was you put in there. But being the geek that I am...

Yeh, I found it. :)

Hey, that's really cool. Jennifer and I had fun clicking through five minutes at a time through the day. Really nifty! It does look like your eyes are closed at one point. Here's an idea to improve this. Place a clock on the back wall of the cubicle in view of the camera. Thanks for the show. Take care!

I might as well add my comments to the rest of the family! WOW!!! Awesome! You sure do change positions a lot, Jeff! And I love all the expressions on your face! Way cool!

No sleeping on the job! And I want to know what you're listening to on those headphones. Is it MP3s?

Maybe see you Saturday!

Jeff I think that is so cool....Mike and I noticed how the Fedex guy came by quite a few times--you're a busy man!

This would be even better if you could put it to music or something

Cool! I couldn't get it either, so I found it in the source and it played fine. I think the embed tag is screwy. Oh well. Very neat!!!
