I was given an old web camera and was able to locate software drivers for it on the internet.  Realizing a camera pointing out the window was not the most practical use of the device, heck I could just as well look out the window, I decided to do something different and  create my own web site allowing anyone to see what might be happening here in Ham Lake, Minnesota.

This is a link to my live camera.  Camera updates every 30 seconds between 6:30 AM and 8:30 PM (CT).   Since nothing maybe happening on the live shot, I also have a page that captures detected motion.  In addition to the camera pointing out the side, another camera is positioned to watch the front and the bird feeders.  Several viewing options are available with this camera.  If you have a slow internet connection I suggest either the still picture which is updated every 30 seconds or the small video.  If you have a high speed connection give the large video a try.

Our family went to the Big Horns Mountains when we were kids.  Now that we are older, we have been going back to enjoy the peaceful beauty.  You can see some photos of my brother Paul and me on our 2002,  2003,  2004,  2005,  2006 or 2007 camping and fishing trips.

In the limited spare time a person has, I have been researching my family roots.  The main genealogy page is simply a table of contents with links to a page of surnames and a name list. 

Discussion on a software installation problem I had with a DVD and the way I worked around it can be found here.
