Sometimes when it's a slow news day, we like to click up to Camera 4 at the Times Square camera site. Sure-- most people prefer camera 1 (live streaming video) or camera 2 (pan/tilt views of the MTV HQ), but we like camera 4. It has a stop-action picture of the sidewalk in front of an electronics store on 47th Street, and watching as people flash by is a strangely zen activity. Anyone else have a NYC webcam stream that they enjoy vegging out to? Put it in the comments.





sonic youth are recording a new album, and you can view them in action at their studio. go to:

and click on the echo cam link at the top of the page, (just under the title), on the left. genius in action!
watched this one constantly during the republican convention: traffic web cams around town, streaming and otherwise:

Sorry to say it, but chronically vegging out to webcams is kind of creepy.

Here's a good one, if you like this sort of thing. It has lots from the UK, as well as other countries (including the US).
i also like camera 4!!!!! being on the other side of the world and missing home, camera 4 comes in handy a lot (it was great for new years eve and whenever it snows i like to check it)
