I See Hot Pixels

Ever since I discovered hot pixels in my Nikon D-SLR camera, I've been noticing the hot pixel pattern everywhere.

A hot pixel is a charge leakage on the camera's sensor, which causes a bright spot to appear on the photos. When enlarged, it looks like a colorful plus sign. In the real world, I have been seeing this pattern all over the place, like on the floor of this restaurant.

Nobody can escape the hot pixel!

Eiiiggghh!!

This sound is attributed to one of my co-workers, who vocalizes this comical utterance to express indifference to the current topic of discussion. The more emphasis placed on the "eeiii", the greater the expressed indifference. It is frequently used in informal meetings.
