HOME AND WORK
JenniCam
Imagine if everyone in the world could see you schlepping around in your bathrobe,
working at your computer, getting dressed, or undressed... Jenni launched an
online cam sensation with her 24-hour-a-day, uncensored Web cam.

WozCam
Visit the legendary cofounder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, in his office and classroom
(he teaches computer skills to grade-schoolers). Or check out the gorgeous view
of the Silicon Valley from his balcony, and take a dip in his pool.

The Amazing
Dave Cam
Poor Dave, he must work awfully long hours because he almost always seems to
be in his chair. If you've got the QuickTime VR plug-in, you can even take a
panoramic tour of his office, which he shares with Opus the penguin and Humphrey
the flamingo. If not, you can download it from Apple's QuickTime Web site at
http://quicktime.apple.com/.

Netscape's
Cams
Since Netscape developed the server and browser technologies that made camming
possible, it's only natural that their Amazing FishCam was one of the first
to make the headlines, back in 1995. You can still watch the fish swim around
in their tank at http://fishcam.netscape.com/fishcam/
fishcam.html. While you're in the neighborhood, drop by the Netscape Engineering
Sign page at http://www.weissman.org/sign/,
which displays an LED bus sign in the Netscape engineering department. This
is an interactive cam: You can send a message, and it will appear on the sign.
To find out about the people behind the Netscape cams, read the interview with
Terry Weissman in chapter 10 of The Little Web Cam Book.
the internet
c@fé
Live from Honolulu, Hawaii, it's the 24 Hour Cybercafé Cam. Depending on
your browser and connection speed, you can surf the basic version of the Web
site, or the highly caffeinated one with Java, QuickTime movies, and other bells
and whistles. You can also say hello to everyone by typing a message into the
form on the site. A PowerMac sitting in the café speaks your message out
loud to whomever happens to be hanging out.

The Pad Cam
Hang out with Amber, Amanda, Nick, and Dan in their living room in Southfield,
Michigan. If you use ICQ (a program that tells you when friends are on the Internet
and lets you send instant messages), you can page them. Plans are also underway
to set up a chat room.

The Amazing
Ironing Cam
Watch live-action laundry at all hours of the day and night. If no one is ironing,
you'll see a Mr. Potato Head instead.
