There was an article, perhaps in Scientific American or Science about
a year ago that had a description of a networked set of webcams on
a campus. Vague memory has it that it was MIT, but I could be mistaken.
If I recall, it was web based, but there was some specialty software
included that did something. I shoulda paid more attention to that
article. Doubt I could even find it again now. spike
