China Street Scene

Almost soundless. Beijing coming down from Olympic Fever?

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.

Flooding in Florida

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

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 . . .

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?

Oulu 45 Special

From Finland. Is that dude wearing a straightjacket?

Protest at UN

Pro-Georgia protest being held outside the United Nations. Great coverage of all of this by Dan Patterson.

Meeting of Media Minds

A current and former FCC member hold a conversation at the Aspen Conference. Qikked by Craigslist founder Craig Newmark.

Georgia at UN

The Georgian Ambassador to the United Nations addresses a press conference there on the Russian Invasion of his country.

Times Square

Qikker Gooch has caught a classic hot, overcast, sweaty summer day in Manhattan. Just think: every one of those taxis down there has some poor businessman in it wearing a suit and stuck to the back seat . . .

UFO?

Indian Qikker BeingTarak seems to have come up with a new use for Qik technology: capturing video images of ephemeral phenomena. Now, frankly, this just looks like a plane with wing lights but ooooooooooooooooooo you never know. Anyway, if you do happen to use your Qikked cellphone to capture that elusive image of the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot or Martians, try to also capture some surrounding geographic features in order to show context, scale, etc.

Television Girl without a Clue

This footage of KTLA television in LA setting up for a shoot — especially the dazed and confused blonde on camera — would seem to confirm almost every stereotype you have about Hollywood.

“X-Files” premiere, London

Qikker Gia Miliinovich gets — briefly — up close and personal with star David Duchovny

Comparing the Nokia N96 and N95

Qikker Whatleydude treats us to a side-by-side comparison of the Nokia kingpin phones…with a little help from his friends.

Dark Nokia Knight

Jackie visits the Nokia store on W. 57th in NYC to buy some phones for promotional give-aways, and discovers the place is all done up in preparation for the Dark Knight movie premiere.

Another iPhone Release Party

From the Netherlands — the poster calls it a ’silent disco’, whatever that means. Listen to the cheers when the crowd sees on the big screen that the delivery truck has arrived . . .

New iPhone 3G

From Italy. Though frankly, we’d rather have one of those black t-shirts . . .

iPhone 3G Launch Party

From Oslo, Norway. Looks they don’t have to wait this time for their Jesusphones . . .

From a Lincoln Avenue Bar

Which Lincoln Avenue?  We have no idea — that’s just the title “Nallstar” gave to it.  One thing is for sure, the young lady in this Qik seems to be under the impression — or should we say ‘is intoxicated with the notion’ — that she actually has to speak loud enough that Qikkers around the world can actually hear her actual voice over the horizon . . .

Scoble: Tour of Senate Press Room

Qikker Robert Scoble gets a quick tour of the Press Gallery just off the U.S. Senate Chambers. 1930 meets 2008 . . .

Velocity 2008

From Therman in Burlingame, CA: Mandy Walls of AOL talks about “Actionable Logging”

The Subways in Concert

Playing at a club in Coventry, England. The interference is probably the sound of people bouncing into Graeme Shaw, the Qikker. Pity there aren’t close-ups of bassist Charlotte Cooper. The song is “Rock and Roll Queen.”

Marc Benioff

Steve Gillmor interviews Marc Benioff of Salesforce.com at the introduction today of his company’s new ‘Force.com Toolkit for Google Data APIs’. Gillmor shrewdly puts Microsoft in his very first question, knowing that is the best way to get a rise out of Benioff.

Beach Bonfire

Looks like another one of those cool Spanish beach bonfires. It appears that tonight everyone’s decided to bring tables and chairs, food and beer.

Cali: Getting Interviewed

Qikker Cali gets interviewed by the media about her career. She should know by now not to attempt audio in place with that much ambient noise . . .

Mozilla Firefox

I’ll bet it isn’t what you expected . . .

Live Typhoon scavenger hunt

From Wayne Sutton in Raleigh North Carolina.
