Over the many years (some might argue too many) I've been online, I've
collected a few interesting links. One that I used at class on Monday
was from CalTrans.
CalTrans has installed some webcams
on the major roads through the state, from Stockton to San Diego.
They are free for
the viewing.

show personal information or what happened after the call.

to online. You can can download some in MP3 format for listening on
your MP3 player, tablet, or burn the file to a CD for listening on your
car stereo. If you have an iOS or Android device, you can install their

Ever wonder what's going on outside of the Abbey Road studios? Me too, all the time. Well, they put up a webcam
on the sidewalk that views the famous "zebra crossing" from the album
cover. Online 24 hours, the time difference is fun to see and you might
catch a glimpse of some exotic car cruising by or tourists waving at
the camera.
