Alright kids, after lots of testing, my Fishtank Cam is live!! Click HERE to check it out! Also, dig out my setup:
Not too bad for a first try! I’ll write up another post in a couple days as a “How to” guide for those wanting to do it themselves. Feel free to drop some comments below! 
Let’s talk webcams… combined, Jess and I have 5 webcams. Why so many? Well after buying our own, we somehow got a bunch of free ones. They used to be used a lot, since Jess and I didn’t live together, but now that we do, they’re rarely on. So I had a thought… why not make a streaming webcam of my fishtank (and if that doesn’t work, maybe an image that updates every 5-10 seconds or so)? I figure it would be a nice addition to the rest of the site, but I have never set one up before.
So, what to do? Well, I’ve downloaded YawCam… it seems to have all the features I need to pull this off. Next I need to setup my cam (just on my desk) and see if I can get it to work. I figure I’ll use my nice Logitech to do this. If it works, the next step (pending approval from Jess) is setting up the cam on the fishtank somewhere, and finally, putting an active link here on the site.
So… would you guys tune into Fishies Gone Wild? Drop a comment, let me know what you think!

On this Veteran’s day we look back and know there are hundreds of thousands military members that are retired and active duty who have placed their lives on the line for our country as well as others. We know of the battles they have fought overseas, but many don’t realize the financial battle many face [...]
SpaceX, the private company established by PayPal’s founder Elon Musk, has made history by successfully launching their Falcon 1 rocket and achieving orbit. Falcon 1 has made history as the first privately developed liquid fueled launch vehicle to achieve earth orbit! The amazing thing about this is that it was only their fourth [...]
What is the deal with Stand Up Comics? Do they really have to stand up? Does this somehow help the jokes they are telling? What if they get tired and have to sit down? And why don’t they just sit down anyway? It seems it’d make them more comfortable, I mean, you don’t have to [...]
Well, the world’s largest Physics experiment is up and running and we’re all still alive. Yep, the world didn’t explode and the universe didn’t end or anything. Who’d a thunk that these scientist-types knew what they were talking about? Hopefully the tests give them the information they’re looking for and perhaps we’ll finally find out where [...]
