Recursive Raspberry
Not quite sure why I like this. It was taken by my Raspberry Pi camera pointed at my MacBook which is running Chicken, a vnc client, showing the Raspbian desktop via wifi with the camera's current image. The Pi plus camera & wifi dongle are powered by one of those nice little 5v power banks which charge up by USB, and actually that is the real point. The camera is controlled by a fairly basic bit of Python software I cobbled together using Pygame. Next step I hope: peer to peer wifi control of the Pi.
PS: For the Picamera python library we are all hugely indebted to Dave Jones! Also, a post on the School Pi Club wordpress blog got me started with Pygame and the camera.
PPS: Instead of peer-to-peer I've taken the lazy way out and am using my Verbatim MediaShare to create a little "portable" wifi network between the Pi and my MacBook.
