This is very similar in style to my favorite presentation and paper of all time, titled On The Turing Completeness of PowerPoint [0]. The research, presentation and paper were all created inside of powerpoint and it is probably the greatest thing ever made. If you enjoyed the above video you will definitely enjoy this.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjxe8ShM-8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjxe8ShM-8</a>

Very entertaining and well delivered talk; it not only does what the title says, but also explains some of the math and magic behind making HDR images.
I'm reminded of the oft-linked Goldbloom quote in Jurassic Park. ;)<p>I'm also reminded of a guy I knew in college. He would LOVE this, because when we were working together at a university computer lab, he was the guy who would learn a tool, and then use that tool to the exclusion of all else, even to the point of absurdity.<p>The only tool he really knew when he started working there was Lotus, and he ended up figuring out how to automate all sorts of network administration tasks in Lotus macros.
Reminds me of a comedy show where they were making colour images in Excel.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBX2QQHlQ_I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBX2QQHlQ_I</a>

It's a little known fact, but Powershell runs with Excel as the internal execution engine. The secret is actually hidden in plain sight. Just look at the name for a clue...<p>Powershell = Powexcel = Powered by Excel
