As a part of my work (developing an industrial machine interface with live video feeds from various locations) - I started developing my code with very basic USB "web cams". Well, my client gave me a budget to purchase whatever I needed, so I got a weird little device - a Micro Coolcam from Micro innovations. This little thing (about 5" x 1-1/4" x 3/4") does still pictures, small video caps, audio recording and "web cam" live video. (OK - it's all VERY LOW quality) - but it's turning out to be the ideal solution to carry around in my pocket and, when I run across a scene that may be worth returning to, shoot a cheesy shot and record a memo - enough to remind me of an opportunity!

This is a quick shot of my office in existing light - which is why the quality is actually much poorer than the camera can actually produce.

I dunno - a reminder device for $50 - I can make use of it!
