iSpy with my little “i”…
I’ve never been a fan of webcams or video conferencing. It’s not that I’m against the idea of video cameras, I’ve just never quite understood the appeal. What’s so great about seeing a friend just after they’ve woken up in the morning? I’d rather wait until the person’s had a chance to comb their hair and wipe the crud out of their eyes. And I’ve always been frustrated by the refresh rates for webcams. It seems that more often than not, you end up looking at the side of someone’s head, or up their nose, or at their backside as they get up to walk away. What’s so interesting? And why would I want to share my most unattractive/stupidest candid faces with the world? Up until now, I’ve been stumped.
But yesterday, I changed my mind. Yesterday, we got an iSight.

Whether you can’t be with your loved ones for the holidays or simply don’t want to be with that mad lot, sometimes you still want to share the holiday spirit. With that in mind, the wife and I have set up the Terrapin Gardens’ TreeCamTM. We set the cam up Sunday night, alerted the kin folk and began trimming our beautiful little tree. We had fun untangling the ornament hangers and lights, and then hanging the various starter ornaments we picked up recently. And it was nice to share this event with friends and family.
We plan to leave the cam up for the holidays. Feel free to enjoy our tree—and our holiday season—with us. Everyone’s welcome.
