thursday morning.

Hello. Good morning, though saying that seems a little odd. It actually is a good morning, but doesn't especially feel like one. But I don't see how it isn't a good morning, so it must be a good morning.

Anyway, I had success with my Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000. With every computer thing I buy, I usually come to the point where I say, "IT DOESN'T WORK!" Then it eventually does.
It's always a stupid thing or two. Ok, installed the disc, plugged in the camera when prompted into a USB port.
Then the stupid part. Oh, I finally figured out there is a plastic covering on the lens that I have to pull off. Oh, duh.
Then it was blurry, and I was able to call my brother Matt, and then it was, "Oh, duh, it won't focus, oh duh, turn the lens focus on the actual camera. I didn't see that mentioned in the manual. Stupid people like me with computer stuff needs every thing spelled out. Then I didn't want to break the camera turning the lens, it kind of got stuck and wouldn't focus, but it had to be The Only Way to make it work, I went through the settings....My brother actually suggested turning the actual camera lens, I wouldn't have figured it out without him, he's a great help. But after that, it finally worked.
I was able to use the settings, and make all the features work, and it was a lot of fun.
I paid $61. I could have bought another one for $30, but to have a 3x lens, to get a camera especially made for Windows Live Messenger was a plus and a draw to buy this product. Right away I was able to do fun little visual tricks, and it made the video call really fun, which is what I wanted.
I wanted something that would propel me into the future with some fun computer stuff. I'm an artist, and I want the best technology I can get which will help my art, and presentation of myself. I am dependent on this stuff now to help get my art out there.
So there you go, there's that.

My phone calls with my two brothers ended up being really fun, and we talked for a long time. I was able to do puppet shows for one brother, and then once I figured out the computer effects, I was able to use those in that phone call.
Kuleness.
