Hello.app, Capturing First Goatse Using iSight

hello.app

Jacob Jay has created hello.app to help facilitate the capturing of a First Goatse using iSight, which can then be uploaded to the First Goatse group on Flickr.

I unexpectedly became inspired by this episode of XKCD (spoiler) and the First Goatse group to throw together a little Mac app that reveals the goatse.cx hello.jpg in all its goriness (thank goodness for low resolution cameras back then!), whilst simultaneously snapping some shots with the built-in iSight. This is the final screen in the app, in which I’m simulating surprise. I swear editing the screen with hello.jpg was not an experience I intend to repeat anytime soon.

If you have any feedback on this revolutionary project, please join the discussion.
