This post references the MetaCamPage, which was a running featurette of this website for several years. It's been offline for decades now, but originally it displayed a single snapshot taken at regular intervals from a webcam mounted to my computer's monitor. Although it sounds inconceivable, this was a very common practice around the turn of the century. (The MetaCamPage would also sometimes show webcam images from other bloggers' webcams and/or a grid of photos from other bloggers.)

Doh! We are going to dinner tonight so I will probably miss the better part of #blogIRC. If you’re there, I hope you enjoy some fun with the MetaCamPage. I made it just for the #blogIRCers.

I’m listening to the new Pearl Jam CD, binaural, though. I already love it and I’ve only heard the first two songs. I bought it on-line when I ordered the tix and was surprised that it got here only a day after it went on sale. I considered buying a copy tonight at Best Buy. Ryan and I went there after work (I was thinking about buying an ice-blue Handspring Visor Deluxe. But after seeing the HP Jornada up close… grrr… it’s a tough decision now. I have — at least temporarily — decided not to buy either one.) and I said, “Naah… I won’t buy it. It’s probably on its way to my house now.” And I got home. And there it was.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
