Webcam for wizzardsblog TV

Technology 2 Responses »
Feb 062010

Okay I have finally got a webcam for my wizzardsblog.tv video blog.

However I am facing a problem, because I am wearing glasses there is a reflection from the monitor in my glasses so you cannot actually see my eyes.  I need some suggestions for how to solve this reflection problem.

I have a Logitech C250 Webcam.

I have used this article to help:

It does work, however I have to keep adjusting my monitor’s contrast and brightness controls after I’ve finished which is less than ideal.

I need some more tips on how to eliminate the reflection. Feel free to comment below or hit me up on twitter.

Facebook and security questions

Dear Facebook,

Why when a security question is added to your account,  why are you not permitted to change the security question on your account?

There are very serious reasons why people may want to change their security question which I’m sure as a social media, online company you are aware of.

This to me seems a little short sighted by yourselves. I hope in the advances you make in 2010, you put this high on your list of priorities.

After reading Chris Pirillo’s latest Lockergnome that landed in my inbox about your founder’s speech,  there are still users out there that expect a certain amount of privacy.  Not everyone out there has the best of intentions, so lets not throw the privacy baby out along with the bathwater just yet and make it easy for your users to feel safe.

Yours puzzled
