I don't know what's up with my webcam, but it is suddenly not behaving. Hopefully I can solve this before next Thursday. If not there are some work arounds - I do have two other video options available - just not as convenient for immediate personal recording and posting.
For some reason when I turn it on it spends a moment in the standard recording mode, then after a few seconds it switches to a posterized version - sometimes worse than other times, and the audio goes WAY out of sync.
Not very convenient or appealing. Going to try to fix this.
Too bad... I recorded a video entry on how and why I embraced skepticism. It sucked.
