Loft Story

Have you ever wondered what was going on outside but didn't want to look out the window?  Those of us in my office building now have a solution for that.  The new hospital live cam positioned out onto the street.  You can watch a livestream of people come and go at the traffic intersection all day long (via hospital intranet- sorry outside stalkers!).  You can even take snap shots.  It's about the best toy ever.  Even though the resolution isn't perfect and scope limited, so we're not sure why the camera is even there.  Almost as good an investment of our money as that time the Bo' commissioned a fleet of waffle makers with the school seal on it (I know those waffle makers have their loyal fans who love the 'syrup pocket' it afforded in the middle, but I like my waffles gridded and that shining sun interfered).  Needless to say, the office had a field day with this (while Whitecastle questioned why the view looked so much like the view from my window.  I have no comment).  And because we're nerds, we joked in terms of the type of data we could collect from the livestream.  I love nerds.

Probably not good uses of my time:  browsing the web for Air Jordan Spizikes I'm not going to buy.  But my sneakers are wet right now, this paper is not writing itself, and I've got kicks envy.
