OpenTopia is the cool website of the week. There are lots of webcams on hidden and Intranet websites that got picked up by Google. They can be found by searching for the standard webpage paths that belong to each brand of camera. For example, a Panasonic webcam could always output a page that defaults to www.mysite.com/camera/image.htm or something like that. Anyway, OpenTopia is a collection of all the cameras found on Google using this method and you can look at all of them in real time. It's really cool to go to places where it's daylight at the given time. As I look right now, it's morning rush hour in Japan, so all of those cameras show lots of cars and trains. Anyway, go check it out. It's cool.
