Webcams

I usually eat lunch in my office everyday. I frequently catch up with tv shows I've missed by watching them online, but at other times, I just relax with a good webcam going. Nothing like a cold day and watching the snow in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, or Mystic Seaport, CT. Or relaxing during the summer watching people on the beach in Hawaii or Galveston. So, for those also interested in playing Big Brother, here's a list of some of my favorite webcams.

At the moment, I'm interested in looking at any place that doesn't have snow or look frozen!

Thanks for the vicarious thrills.

See, I'm just the opposite. During winter (or what counts as it for us) I spend a lot of time watching the Boothbay Harbor and Mystic Seaport webcams. It's usually the only chance I get for seeing snow. It's fun getting to control the cams, making them swivel around, and zoom in and out. The boothbay one lets you go longer than the usual time limit, as long as no one else is wanting to control it.

Not true. He finds them quite delicious ;)
