Lenny Lightfoot, reviewer

iPad/Apple case, and Stowaway keyboard from Eolake Stobblehouse on Vimeo.

Eolake's little-known twin, Leonard Lightfoot, reviews and demonstrates the Apple iPad case, and how to use the tiny (out-of-production) _Think Outside_ Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard. (Important, it has to be Universal and Bluetooth.) (These are unfortunately already pretty expensive used; let's hope some new ones come up when the iPhone can take bluetooth keyboards soon.)

Lightfoot is not much of a videographer; he apologises for much of the screen being unreadable in the video due to screen glare. (He had just heard Apple say it's not a problem, and was not concerned about it.)

OMG,Leonard Lightfoot, where *has* Eo been hiding you?! You were *DELIGHTFUL,* Darling! You should do reviews on a regular basis! :-D (but *why* "evil," I wonder?)

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Thank you very much, dahlin'.

"Evil twin" is a meme from the eighties. Doonesbury used it, for example. Maybe it's lost now.

Lenny likes the lights much better than I do, so you never know when he turns up.

That's true. I've gotten too literal, around here! lol! (forgot!)

"Lenny likes the lights much better than I do, so you never know when he turns up."

Well...keep him handy; that boy sounds like a LOT of FUN!! :-D (perhaps he could help you to...lighten up, hey?! ;0)

Dude, please set the focus manually to a fixed point and leave it there.

Please.

I got dizzy...

Also, you need more DoF.

Sincerely,


A Concerned Friend

Hmm so Leonard bought one of my watercolor handmade books too :-)

I think it's funny that Lenny is such a poor videographer. But maybe I should teach him a bit anyway.

Sounds like an evil nazi. Well, nazi. I guess by definition they are evil. He should wear a monocle.

The whole setup looks so fragile. Any touch moves something, which maybe is OK to LL, but would drive me nuts -- or to duct-taping the whole thing down.

I liked the background music that played during the two typing scenes.

Future demonstrations of Bluetooth devices could perhaps show them hooked up to a portable windmill, propelled by the cusswords of the user who can't force the devices to mate properly.

Thanks for the kind review of my compositions and vocals.

The keyboard is stable enough, but I don't think the pad is standing very well in the tall configuration. I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong, though, it is very simple.

Monsieur Hulot, Mr Pastry, Tommy Cooper, and Professor Stanley Unwin with a nod to Laurel & Hardy, Lloyd, and Chaplin, brought into the Internet age. It seems there is even a virtual touch of Valentino for ladies of a certain weakness. Expect this to go viral at a computer monitor near you.

Lenny, the flap should be tucked away under the iPad itself, that's what the picture shows on the wrapping of the cover on mine.

Nice vid :)

Thanks, darling, you're a girl's best friend.
Kisses!

Lenny
