Today's most obsessive-compulsively awesome video: Wii Photo Channel mosaics
15
Does anyone even use the Wii's Photo Channel anymore? We suspect that many, like ourselves, thought the Photo Channel was a neat addition for about 15 minutes, after which the kitsch factor wore off and the channel was promptly relegated to the back pages of the Wii menu, to make room for copious Virtual Console purchases.

I own a Wii since February and have yet to use the photo channel...too busy tinkering with Photoshop on pc, but maybe now I'll look at it to see what it does

The first mosaic of the two is of Kagami from the anime Lucky Star.

Okay, this isn't mind numbing labor. Here's how to do it yourself.
1. Find out how many tiles at max zoom out resolution.
2. Download mosaic maker from the internet.
3. Enter desired tile resolution, and picture set for mosaic.
4. load the sequence into the photo channel.
5. Upload video to Youtube and have lazy bloggers be easily wowed by how much effort you've made.

perhaps a stupid question, but since the article mentions it I thought I would ask,
How do you change the order of channels in the Wii menu? I tried and tried but can't seem to figure it out.

haven: point at the channel and press both a and b at the same time (like picking up a mii) and you can pick up and move the channels around. You can only put them in a blank spot though. I wish you could just drop it on a used spot and the two would swap spaces, but oh well.
