Coffee Pots and Creme Brulee
My turn.
Keith mentioned that "blog" came from the phrase "web log." I learned that in an article I had to read for a photo class. I also learned that web cams came about because of laziness. At Cambridge University the computer science department was spread far apart, but there was only one coffee pot for all of the professors to
use. Not a good situation. They got so tired of walking all the way to the one coffee pot that one man set up a camera in front of it that took a picture every few seconds. They hooked up the camera to the server and voila-you could see if there was fresh coffee without ever having to leave your desk.
My question is, who made the coffee?
That story really has nothing to do with anything beside the fact that I thought it was interesting. And I like impressing people with my knowledge.
Here are some photos I took last night (in the future I'll make them bigger...maybe):
This is the view from our balcony. It was a 20" exposure time. That's long.
