Hipster cam idea o' the day
Bryan O'Neil Hughes and I were looking at the very raw guts of a prototype camera today--a bunch of naked circuit boards, wires, etc. Someone mentioned the mass of the whole contraption, and Bryan said, "Looks like it's the size of a VHS tape."
This got me thinking: How about making a hipster camera that's actually housed inside the shell of a VHS cassette? Turning the big wheels could flip through photos or adjust camera settings. C'mon, you know some goateed weasel would just love taking off-axis shots using a ginormous plastic case. For bonus points, kit it out with a greasy little lens & call the results "artsy."

I think you're getting ahead of yourself, John.
Surely we need a Beta(max) program first to test this?
(Sorry, couldn't resist!)
[Heh--most definitely. Gotta make sure it doesn't conflict with one's Moleskine. --J.]
