Swedish Junkyard

Dunno about you, but I was expecting a lot more Volvos . . .

Shanu Wedding

From India. The groom is looking a little pissed off at being videoed . . .

Home in Winchelsea, Australia

As the guinea hens vaccuum up all of the bugs on the lawn. . .

China Street Scene

Almost soundless. Beijing coming down from Olympic Fever?

live at www.thechurchdallas.com

The slow refresh rate on this Qikker’s phone makes the show even more psychedelic than it already is . . .

Chavez Ravine

The precipitous view from the upper deck behind the plate at Dodger Stadium. Nice solidarity fist from the little girl in Dodger blue. . .

Flooding with Fay

Qikker BBrooks ain’t talking, but we’re betting that this is footage of the current downpour of Biblical proportions taking place right now in Florida.

The Perfect Cappuccino

That’s a damn fine looking cup of java. And we take a back seat to no one in our love of Peet’s coffee. But even Peet’s lovers have to admit that Barefoot Coffee makes a better (and more expensive, and infinitely more pretentious) cappuccino.

Shopping in Seattle

Looks like Pike Street Market. And that’s some fine looking fish there . . .

I’ve Got No Torch

Looks like a happier, British version of “The Blair Witch Project.”

Dark Beats

Noe Ruiz having fun playing with Mainstage . . .

Ariel’s Dorm Room

Back to school time. Looks nicer than any dorm room we ever lived in. Where’s the keg? Where’s the holes punched in the walls? Where are the cockroaches?

Flooding in Florida

From DirtyBird1977: Looks like video of flooding in Florida from tropical storm Fay. Note the crazy with kayaks in his pickup.

Hawaii Pacific University Computer Lab Front Entrance

Only a Hawaiian geek would perfer to be in there, rather than out there

From Russia without Love

Have you noticed that no matter where he is in the world (in this case, Russia), the first thing a guy does when he gets a smartphone and signs on to Qik is to take a video of his bored and slightly irritated girlfriend/wife. This woman’s attitude towards being video is all right there in the pillows she’s holding . . .

Eating Oreos

Boy, you can sure see where our mind is at today . . .

Pete the Parakeet

The title says it all. On the other hand, have any of you ever found a parakeet in your garage?

Bathing Suit Brigade

And yes, we did pick this untitled Qik because of the pretty girl in the bathing suit . . .

TechCrunch: More detail than you want to know

Michael Arrington interviews one of his own supergeek staffers.

Scoble: New Media Expo Videoblog Test

UberQikker Robert Scoble describes Qik to an audience at New Media Expo. And trust me, having now seen thousands of them, this is hardly the “most boring videoblog ever.”

Sunset on the Waters

I don’t know what the hell this guy is talking about, but it sure is a purty video . . .

C-Span: Democratic Convention Location

Live feed from C-Span2, scouting the Denver location of next week’s Democratic Party Convention. Interesting to see the proximity of the convention center and the stadium where Obama will deliver his acceptance speech. And you just know the nearby amusement park, with its roller coaster, is going to be used as a metaphor by an endless number of reporters . . .

Pumping Gas

Dude, if you’re trying to make a statement about paying $3.43 per gallon for gas, spare us: come out to Silicon Valley, where we haven’t seen gas that cheap in a long, long time . . .

Lo que esta pasando ahorita!

The Venezuelan Qikker entitled this “Lo que esta pasando ahorita!” — which, without looking it up, we assume translates into “Sitting on my ass doing nothing.”

Football Practice

Where the hell is this? What university holds PRACTICES that draw this many fans? The Orange shirts, etc. suggests it may be Syracuse . . .which would figure, because those folks are nuts. But we may be wrong . . . I do like the part where the guy says, “These seats are taken” — leaving, what, about 48,000 other ones available?

Laundromat

/>
Do we love this Qik because of the sheer zen nature of using a video to capture what is essentially a static image? Or because of the ’30’s social realism of that row of gaping washer/dryer mouths? No, it’s because the Change machine directly before us seems to be sending a message about how we shouldn’t be wasting our lives sitting in Laundromats. . .

Rainbow

From Brazil: A rainbow over a street in Florianopolis.

Oulu 45 Special

From Finland. Is that dude wearing a straightjacket?

In the Backyard

Which is the dog and which is the mop?

McCuskey is Back!

And we didn’t even know he was gone . . .
