In the series of "watching grass grow" I found out that I can actually control the web-cam which gives a view of Times Square! A video camera gives a running view of what happens at this infamous New York square, and after a few very futile attempts, I was able to figure out which button to hit to be able to take control of the pan, tilt and zoom of the camera. I guess it would have been a little more exiting if I didn't do it at 4 am EST, though.
