Baby Kit

A piece of technology I have been using non-stop lately is a Trendnet wireless security webcam to watch my daughter when she's sleeping in the other room. It's a surprisingly versatile yet inexpensive piece of equipment. It streams amazing quality video (i can see her breathing.. which crazy as it sounds i'm constantly looking for) , lets me control wherether audio in (or out) works, has night vision, and so far has easily withstood five simultaneous connections. Because it's wireless i can move it around the house easily... which mean my wife can watch us play when she's at work. My mother in arizona is also a frequent watcher. They each have their own unique logins as well. The client is java/activex so it works from firefox, ie, or safari. Though the activex gives you a few more options than the java version.

Here's a screen shot:


Back to basics.

I haven't posted to this blog in quite some time. I've been, in fact, posting to my daughter samantha's blog.

I haven't had the opportunity write about or even pursue the tech I'm interested in for a bit. I will once again rededicate myself to writing in this fricking blog. I think however I have to expand it a little bit to cover more general tech I get to encounter while working and programming as well as the entertainment/tv tech i wanted to focus on.

Be seeing you....
