Last week I mentioned the famous Schaumburg, Illinois webcam. Well guess what. I was in Schaumburg doing a survey tonight and I visited the Schaumburg webcam. That's me in the photo.
Live webcam self-image capturing is a tricky business. Good job!! Are you on the phone with the person who captured the image?
I caught myself in a webcam once, but it was one where they archive images over the last hour or day or something, so I had to go back to my hotel and look in the archive and hope I was there at the right time. I was!
i was talking to Matt. I called him up to surprise him. I actually called my wife first and I kept walking until i was in the webcam. The webcam is in a building with mirror windows so it's really hard to see where the camera is located.
did you take a photo of the building? I'm very curious what this building looks like. I've been watching this web-cam for about a week now. It's kinda like a postcard hanging on the wall in my cube. Only it changes through the day. It's really nice.
Erik is the only person that I have seen so far get this close to the web-cam.
Although I'm gonna blog about this, but I'll sp-ill the idea here first. BREAKING NEWS! It would be fun to go around the world to all the web-cams and have someone take a snapshot of you in it. Maybe I should start with the Chicago web-cams first.
it would be cool if the citizens of Schaumburg all had digital frames showing this scene in Schaumburg. Then it would become like THE place for people to hang out and be seen by everyone in town.
Oh another idea! I want to have a sticky note on the glass of the building with the webcam. And it says, "hello, spudart is watching you. wave and smile!"
If I were me.. and I was there.. In addition to spudart's message, I'd draw a smile on the sticky side of a sticky note and put it on the glass - so everyone watching the webcam would see it.
spudart mentioned he wanted to view all the web cams of the world. I found a web site called earthcam that allows you to search for different web cams.
