A Lego camera! "How cool is that?" asks the guy who hacks digital cameras in his spare time.

Lava Lamp webcam on KOMO 4 TV News
Next thing I know the Lava Lamp webcam story in the Seattle P-I was picked up by KOMO 4 TV on the news last night (06jan09). This is wild!
Now I hear there's a morning radio show in Milwaukee that wants to talk to me.

Watching the Growth of Walmart Across America video
Here's a wild animated video about the spread of Walmart across America. It's wonderful to watch it bloom and spread. Think "virus".
I wanted to do something like with flipbooking presidential results by county. Never got around to it after election 2008. Too busy trying to save my company.

Lava Lamp on YouTube
A simply shameless piece of self promotion. Utterly without redeeming social value.

Lava Lamp Web Cam Named One of 2008's Most Interesting WebCams
SEATTLE - JetCityOrange's Lava Lamp webcam (www.JetCityOrange.com/Lava-Lamp/) was named one of 2008's most interesting webcams by EarthCam. Founded in 1996, EarthCam is the recognized leader in providing webcam content, technology, and software. A panel of VIP judges including actor Pauly Shore, NY Nicks assistant coach Phil Weber, singer songwriter Tommy James, and Beauty and the Geek winner Amanda Corey. www.earthcam.com/top25/2008/
The webcam is focused on a pair of Lava Lites and is the only such webcam on the internet. JetCityOrange hosts this unique webcam to fill this obvious void. Available through your browser, the Lava Lamp web cam is a look back into the glory days of old. Now the magic of Lava Lamps is a mouse click away 24/7/365.
"The webcam updates every 10 seconds with a fresh JPG of one or both Lava Lamps. In addition to a stream of new photos, the page also features a time-lapse video of a Lava Lamp. I call it 'Lava Lamp on Espresso'. It's like the lava light had waaaay too much coffee." says Jerry Whiting, JetCityOrange's publisher. The video is available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgWYoDaMYcI
JetCityOrange (a website like no other) was founded in 1999 and is in Seattle WA. Jerry Whiting, Dad of 3 count 'em 3 teen-age boys & self-confessed barcode nerd, hails from Cleveland and spends way too much time in his workshop a.k.a. The Mad Lab. Webcams, hacking digital cameras, and collecting fine art photography are obsessions of his. Enjoy!

Lava Lamp Webcam Named 2008 Winner
EarthCam named my Lava Lamp webcam one of the 25 Most Interesting Webcams 2008. JetCityOrange's lava lite webcam is the only one of its kind on the internet. Now EarthCam recognizes it too.After realizing there was no Lava Lite webcam on the internet, I set one up. Just cause. Not that many people visit it but it's comforting to know that whenever you need one, it's there.
Hey, some people keep fish. I tend to a pair of retro lamps. In front of a web cam.
Thanks EarthCam. I'm flattered.
My webcam in the snow
As you may or may not know I have a web cam pointed at the Space Needle. Seattle had a major snowstorm over Christmas. While the camera fogged up, the laptop in my DIY homebrew enclosure did just fine.
Here's a photo of my web cam in the snow.

Digital camera tree ornament
Well, it's Christmas. So I feel somewhat obligated to do a holiday-themed post. (Not that I'm posting all that much these days.)
I found a set of three camera tree ornaments. The digital camera ornament came with this tag. I found the exact language a hoot!

Aging in place message for Pres. Obama
My good friend Louis Tenenbaum makes a good plea to President-elect Obama about how to implement aging in place as part of the rebuilding of America that's about to take place. Makes sense to me.

Stop what you're doing and go to change.gov. No one is going to do it for us. President Obama is the catalyst to help us do it for ourselves. Yes we will!

An Open Letter to Barack Obama
Read Alice Walker's open letter to President Obama.
I loved where it was going and then at the end she draws parallels to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It doesn't get much better.

Seattle Space Needle Webcam
I'm oh so glad I got my Space Needle webcam back up and running. Sits on the balcony off the living room. In fact, I described the setup in a YouTube video.
With this latest webcam behind me, look for a 2nd followed by a weather station and lighthouse. Yes, my very own lighthouse! I have permission in writing from the Coast Guard.

Dear Red States:
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.
Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.
Peace out,
Blue States
