I am so convinced of the benefits of transparency, that I'd certainly
consider being one of the guinea pigs in order to get the ball rolling. In
fact, a few weeks back I was seriously considering rigging up webcams
throughout the house and leaving them connected to the web 24/7. Couldn't
convince the wife though (like me she likes to run around less than fully
clad).

So instead, I'll be setting up a cam in my office so she (or anyone else
who's interested) can watch me while I work :) Still shopping for a webcam.
  I'll let you know when its up and running.
