My arch-nemesis, Patrick "Slurmfactory" Wagner, had a cool idea that turned out really well. The SD card in his camera phone can hold up to 1,516 thumbnail-sized digital pics, so he decided to try and take as many pictures as he could during a single day.
He got 691 before his Symbian-based phone got too slow to use, but the resulting mosaic is pretty cool.
Now, Patrick had to take his pictures by hand, but it wouldn't be hard to rig up a system that took photos or video continuously, sending it back to a server for (possible) review and archiving. But I'm not so sure if I would want a visual archive of most of my days.
One thing I am sure of, though, is that Patrick's days are more interesting than mine. As evidence, I present the following excerpts:
i challenge you to prove the opposite by taking a few shots from your day. i bet just a single lap around the palace would kick my ass. =)
about rigging up a system, that’s what i thought too, would be cool if i could set it on automatic or something. then again, given the kb-prices for gsm-transfer with my provider, i’d be broke after some days…
