Smithers! What is this nincompoop doing?

I am a passive fan of The Simpson's. I enjoy it from time to time but I have never felt any sense of urgency to see the show regularly. That having been said I must confess that I LOVE Montgomery Burns! He's the ultimate capitalist pig and I adore him for it. So when I spotted this at ThinkGeek.com
I knew I had to share it with all of you.

"Those nincompoops think I'm giving them a nifty doo-dad that lets them communicate with acquaintances over the Internet-o-phone," he says conspiratorially, "but really I'm watching their every move." His finger, then, wavers precariously over a button marked, "Hounds."

A high-quality webcam shaped like Monty Burns at his desk includes a large clip that allows it to be attached to your flat-panel monitor or laptop screen.
* 30 fps @ 640 x 480 with built-in microphone
* Supports USB enabled machines running Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista
* Runs with Skype, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and AOL messenger
* 140cm long USB Cable
* Optional removable clip included

The specs aren't stellar but the concept and the design are brilliant! $49.99 at ThinkGeek.com

Webcams, Streaming Video and More...

If you're new to Yamagoo first let me say welcome, and next let me bring you're attention to the very bottom of this page! There you will find our embedded Stickam player. I stream music and video live from work everyday during the week on the Stickam You can hear great remixes and even make requests by emailing me (you'll see the email addy on the left sidebar and scrolling on the video.
Most of the Yamagoo crew have webcams either built in to their laptops or as stand alones like the ones in the picture (aren't they cute?) which means that at anytime you may be watching us do a live mix show, or maybe checking us out at a gig. That's right no matter where we're playing, as long as there's an internet connection, we can and do broadcast. Stickam is FREE and very simple to set up.
I have also been messing around with USTREAM.tv and this service which is a Chris Pirillo fave ( if you don't know about Chris go check him, and his lovely and equally brilliant wife Ponzi , out worth the read every time!) while not as intuitive or well documented, holds lots of promise and doesn't some with as many "limitations." USTREAM.tv is also FREE.
So what's my point? Well there are several. First stop by and see what's streaming at Yamagoo. You never know what you'll see and hear. Second, the technology that makes it possible to see and hear, chat and share is here NOW and we don't need to wait for it. And finally....get a webcam and start streaming. It's fun, helpful, and just one more way to connect to people all over the world.
