This is a place for ideas. Most will be ideas for new products. Perhaps they already exist, but I have not seen them. Perhaps people will take these ideas and use them for personal gain. That is fine with me. Other ideas may include topics for research projects that would be of interest to me. If you have ideas you would like to share with the world, let me know and I will be happy to post them here also.

Webcam RSS Feed

Problem: You have a webcam that you would like to keep tabs on, but you don't have time to watch it like a security guard. You would just like occasional updates on the status of something. For example, maybe you are expecting a package delivered and want to know soon after it is there and have some general idea of when it arrived.

Solution: A webcam that captures images at a selected interval, and then makes them available as an RSS feed. Then you can just look in your RSS reader and see all of the captures with the appropriate timestamp.
