Things I would rather see on the live AmhCam

This is a video of the main quad of campus, where you can stalk anyone walking between the Chapel and my building, it looks like. Entertaining, but I'd rather see a live streaming video of:
  • Parking spots still available around the quad.
  • Students lurking outside my office.
  • A scanning view of the lunch specials at the faculty dining hall and the salad bar situation.
  • The inside of the classroom I'm about to enter, with the number of students who've shown up and their relative energy level (eye-level close-ups would do).
  • The outside of my building and anyone who's standing there smoking.
  • The workout room at the gym, including whether there's a line for the treadmills and which students or colleagues I'm going to run into there.
  • My mailbox and its contents, so I know if I should bother to check it.
  • The circulation desk at the library, to see if that woman who thought I was a student is working today (so I could either avoid her or find a pipe and a tweed jacket so she doesn't make the same mistake again).
  • And also: the inside of the Red Room, just prior to any faculty meeting I must attend there, with a reading of the temperature inside the room on the bottom left-hand corner (so I can bundle up) and a best guess estimate countdown clock of how much longer the meeting's going to go on (so I can properly numb my mind in advance) in the bottom right-hand corner.

And instead you're seeing snow, snow, and more snow.

Welcome to the comments, evt!

Maybe I could get an SJBcam installed over my driveway to see if it's been plowed by my plow guy yet...
