christine will be at work till after four, unless i call her and say i’m bored, in which case she’ll come home. but i AM NOT going to spend my whole day sitting here, looking things up online, goofing off! no sir! i’m going to run, i’m going to fix my english paper, i’m going to read my play and figure out how to make it better. busy busy busy!
but first i must share this with you – my friend who is in NYC showed me a very cool website. it’s
there are cameras set up in different places, mostly in the US, but also in edinburgh, london, and russia. i clicked on the NYC camera – there are four of them. camera 4 is at street level, and you can watch people walking around at 46th and broadway. i’ve been sitting here watching them walk, as well as checking out other places around the world.
i suggested to my friend that if he’s in Times Square, he should call me, and i can go online and see him, and take his photo! a very cool thing, but i don’t know where he is, or if he’ll call while i’m at home. but here is an example photo i just captured:
technology is amazing.
it’s also a little scary, isn’t it, the whole “big brother” aspect of it. people being able to see you, without you knowing.
i hope there are no hidden video cameras here in christine’s apartment, showing me here in my new PJs, lounging around.
last night christine showed me another earthcam-type thing, only this one is a map of the world, and then you can zoom in to a particular place. she found my parents’ house, and houses of various friends and relationship. it’s also cool, but not as interesting, i think, as the camera showing the people walking around.
ok ok ok,
