The other day Byron got a new MacBook. You know, the kind with the little camera built-in right above the screen. Since I have the same computer, he got an idea within minutes of taking it out of the box: "We can video conference now!"

Below is an actual capture of the screen when Byron and I were "video conferencing." As you can see, things didn't go quite as planned.

"I can't really see you," Byron says, "you're kind of fuzzy."

"You look like a Seurat painting," I say.
