Advantages: Check out his WHOLE life!
Disadvantages: none
This is a brilliant site! www.icepick.com A pretty normal Dutch couple Alex and Karen - although I suspect it was Alex's idea - have put their whole house on the net. There are webcams everywhere, at the fridge, the front door, the toilet. But that's not all - basically, every appliance is wired to the web! Take the fridge. By clicking on the fridge site, you can see a live webcam of the fridge. But every time the fridge is opened, the cam takes a snapshot which is displayed on the page, with the time and the duration the door was open! The last time the fridge was opened it was for 12.0273 seconds!!! Similarly for the toilet - you get the date, time, duration even temperature of each flush!!! The microwave shows every food that's gone into it; recently they've reheated some lasagne and some soup. You can follow the 2 cats, Spikey and Sparkey (they even have their own site!) You can see the phone numbers on caller ID! This site is incredible. It takes the webcam idea to its ultimate extension. One of the best parts of the site is the bin. Every time something is put in the bin, the barcode is scanned and the time, date and product displayed on the web. It looks like they've just fed the cats! You simply must check this site out. There's so much I haven't mentioned, it's just so detailed. Oh, you can even turn one of their lamps on and off by clicking on a switch! Interactive! And you can see yourself (well, your IP address) on their live visitors page. A very strange experience, actually.
