Post a Photo of Yourself!

Carpe Jugulum - We're not able to see your pic

you have to upload it to a site and post that link here...since AS doesn't allow showing images off your hd (you can see it perfectly well cause it's directing to the file in your comp...but not ours)

www.uploadit.org should do the trick

Lol, before the forum crash there was someone in this thread trying to get people to post their voice...it was a cool idea...but unfortunetely nobody besides him participated

I wouldn't mind seeing a video here and there (although...it would probably use up all the host's [uploadit.org, etc etc] bandwidth wouldn't it?) and the voice thing would be interesting....but it's so much easier to post pictures then anything else...so i don't think that many (if any) people would do it

We could try posting some other types of videos...(grabs Palco Folgore CD)

O.o; I think the video idea would be intresting.

I don't use uploadit.org so I'm okay with that

Remember if a picture is worth 1000 words, how many words is a video worth?

hmm lets see for a lq video that's 15 fps...so a 30 sec clip would be 15X30X1000 = 450000 words

And you could probally make that under a meg using wmv for something small...that's smaller than 2 hq large pictures

I would like to provide a rebuttal to your argument. In a video, concurrent frames show very little difference (unless the scene is changing). Therefore, having 2 pictures that are nearly the same are no different than just having 1 picture (1000 words). If anything, the higher word count would go toward the presense of audio in the video (assuming there is audio). However, we all know that visual aspects of the environment are more frequently used to interepret information than audio aspects, therefore I'd be willing to grand that about 200-250 words per 5 seconds, and that's being generous. Further, let us assume that a 'significant' frame occurs every 5 seconds that is different enough from the previous set of frames to give the viewer further insight into understanding the subject under question. Therefore, (for 'getting to know you' videos anyway), the word count for a 30 sec clip would be 1000x30/5 + 250*30/5 = 7,500 words (7.5 picture posts). This is not worth the trouble nor the bandwidth in my opinion.

What would be better would be a photo-slideshow of some sort. Actually I have had an idea for a picture set going for a while that I think you guys would love if I were to make it and post it, but alas I am too embarrased to ask my dad and I don't know anyone else in Texas who will be my photographer for me. Well its an idea anyways.

I was about to ask the same question lol Technically you're proballally almost never in the same position in one frame of a video (well okay I wouldn't be) so techically it would be all 'diffrent' pictures.

Lucky for me the engineering gods wont' get anything from me, the medical gods already have my soul...

Yes. Yes, they have. On a different note, if you want to drive to Dallas, I could take some pictures of you. Then we could hang out on Harry Hines and heckle the hookers. Always fun. Until the pimps come out. Then it's all, "stop laughing, bitch!" and *thwack* with the tire irons and car jacks.

Jinto Lin: Wow. Can I stalk you, too?

Sasaki: Arg, don't shudder! You look soo cute and cuddly! *Huggles a very frightened Sasaki* I like the first pic better. Easy on the cheez.

ClessAlvin: Vash?!? Oh, no, wait . . .

Uh, still don't have any pics of me, but I COULD post pics of my piercings. I guess. Nevermind. *Runs away and hides.*

Woh, seriously you are in Dallas? I'm in Frisco right now which is...errr up? I dunno but it's a suburb and its not far from Dallas at all, like 40 minutes from the airport maybe? I demand you post a picture now! Maybe my plan is feasible after all

Gah. I have no pictures to post. No digital camera, no webcam, no working scanner. Sorry, man. Yeah, Frisco is north. So is Little Elm. Make sure to never visit there. How long are you going to be in Frisco? Um . . . must definitely try to, like, congregate, or something. Aren't I just so eloquent?

EDIT: gravitation: What's up with you blocking out your face and not letting the cuteness shine through? Let us see the Cute!

[Dopeskills]

Junko: Don't you at least have a friend with a digitial camera? heh

My oniichan has a webcam, but it's rather a matter of finding time between his work schedule and mine to get together. And, of course, I have to be looking positively cute cute cute before I take a picture (though it never seems to matter), and, as I've been sick these last couple of days, cuteness has definitely been lacking. My sister has a digital cam, but, again, schedules and Cute make this option useless.

EDIT: do you guys really want to see me that badly? o_O I'm so flattered!

Hubba hubba.
