Welcome to my life.

You know, you may wonder why on earth I would set up a WebCam, but I feel that Mark Hokamp, my old counselor, would smile at the idea and nod his head and say, “Yes, the boy needs an outlet.” For the most part, I was just bored and was searching the Web one day when I discovered a site in which a whole bunch of roommates wired their entire house to the Web. You could see all of the rooms in the house live through WebCams, and you could even turn the lights in the house on and off (I played around with this feature for an hour!). So I had an inspiration and set out to make my site a bit more interactive. And besides, it’s a journal. What could be more perfect then a live WebCam with screen capture?

I’ve had my WebCam installed for only one day, and in that time I have learned to adjust to having the camera on me at all times. I must constantly be aware of what I’m doing. For instance, I must remember to keep my mouth shut. I have this thing where if I sit at the computer for too long, I start to lose awareness and my mouth slowly drops open like a Venus fly trap. — Another thing I have to watch out for are those urges to scratch myself. Another thing I found today is I have to keep my singing habit down to a minimum.

Anyways, I want everybody to know that my WebCam is strictly pointed at my computer only. It will never be pointed at ANYTHING else, so the best you could hope for is a glimpse of me in my boxers… and trust me, it wouldn’t exactly be a ‘feature presentation.’

On a final note, I’d just like to say that my WebCam is purely for fun. It’s just a small glimpse into my life that will hopefully help to put a face to the voice behind my journal. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh, and be sure to tune it at around 9 or 10 in the morning to watch me roll out of bed!
