Photo Booth.

I need to get out of the office, but I'm fooling around with the new computer. I discovered Photo Booth, which has various psychedelic effects:

Really, I've gotta get out of here....

uh oh. My partner got a new MacBook Pro recently, with the camera built in and photo booth installed. She's spent several multi-hour sessions playing with it, and there's no warning when the urge will strike. It's just suddenly fun to make faces at the camera and start playing with effects.

It's summer. You have the time. Enjoy!

I just realized I have no idea if people can look at me through the camera.

Ann, do you mean if you're in a chat program? Probably they can, by default. But you should be able to change the settings. If you're in iChat, look for a little icon by a person's name, to see if they have AV capability.

You look about 20 years younger in the Andy Warhol-style picture.

Can I vlog? I want to do that Mickey Kaus "Blogging Heads" kinda thing.

Nice photos. To paraphrase the maxim, you're not getting older, you're getting, well, more hallucinogenic.

I don't remember them seeming so shallow--reckon ya had to be there at the time, to really get into the spirit.

Neat pictures!

"I am very jealous of your new computer." Me too. My love/hate affair with Bill Gates is developing into a real resentment.

Great profile photo. It has none of the problems that I noticed with the previous profiel photo -- you know, the problem I said I saw but you couldn't see.

Code word: erreeunx -- there's a prescription for when Tim Burton loses his touch.

I want this program.

I have no idea if people can look at me through my camera either. It kinda freaks me out. I always have a guard over it.

Steve does look like more spontaneous... Every time Bill comes over I have to sign another Agreement not to share his conversation with anyone.

What a delightful smile! They really are all great pix, but my fav is probably the 1st in thew last row. BUT, I think that one (at the top) has a certain enigmatic quality to it (see Lisa, Mona) that I really like, but I'm not sure the "modified Sunday cartoon" look suits it.

Marghlar: A lot of the books are sent to me free, and then a lot were bought on a book allowance and later a professorship. It is really cool to be able to buy all the books you want.

It's not the Andy Warhol filter that takes 20 years off; it's the smile.

I haven't used Photo Booth, but PhotoShop can keep me entertained for hours.

The Lichtenstein-style one needs a balloon with a caption (something like "Omigod, I forgot to have children," except you didn't) ...
