Extreme Close-up

We went across town yesterday for Lori – she's looking for a dress to wear at an upcoming Governor's ball. My Uncle Brad (in-law) and aunt Angela (in-law, twice removed) gave both Gretchen and me a gift certificate to Macy's. Now, I'm not a clothes-shopping kind of guy. Never have been, never will be. Jake and I wandered all around the store, looking for something that I could actually use. The Meade Digital Camera Binocular caught our attention. The price was set with a 25% discount, so I yanked the unit off the shelf without batting an eyelash. We brought it home and immediately fell in love with it. I hooked that sucker up to my laptop, installed the drivers, mounted it as a Webcam, inserted my wireless card, walked the equipment to our front window, set the new device on the sill, opened Webcam32, then ran down the block with Jake. That's me on the corner. That's me by the street… light – losing my religion. Have you seen it? We encoded that series of snaps with Boomer. My neigh-bores aren't that exciting, so we'll have to find something else to capture. Any ideas? This thing doesn't do well in low-light conditions.
