What the heck is driveway cam?
Driveway Cam is where America shops for Driveway News. It's not just a place where you
can watch all the action on a driveway, (snow piles up, rain runs down, cars go out
and then come back) it's also a collection of some of the most action packed sites out
on the internet you could ever hope for.
It's your one stop shopping for a place to
watch a light bulb, or moss grow, or cheese age, or mountains change. There are
views of waiting rooms at county offices, sequoias growing, empty highways out west,
the pyramids and even more mountains.
For the brave of heart, all you adrenaline junkies out there, there are also sites that
will take your breath away in the sheer rush of watching ~ Old Faithful, ice forming and/or
melting on a lake, corn growing, the population growing right before your eyes, and views
of the air quality from sea to shining sea.
And of course it is a site for animal viewing ~ there are penguins and pandas, and elephants
and donkeys (we cover both sides of the aisle here at driveway cam) and badgers and birds
for a fair thee well.
Driveway cam is always here to keep you posted on the world. It's here when you
need it. And still here when you don't ~ however, as you wander the links, pace yourself,
it's a pretty intensive site. :)
Where did the message board go? And is it really back?
The message board was taken down because of some problems in monitoring it, however drivewaycam
now has a twitter page(it wanted to be like all the other driveways)in it's place where you can leave messages
and see the messages other viewers have left. There is a driveway viewers login ~ if you didn't get
it via email let us know and we'll send it to you or you can sign up for a twitter account yourself
and use that. In either case we hope you'll stop by and leave a comment, suggestion, or message
for another viewer. We'll also be checking twitter for quiz answers so you can post your entries
there as well. So welcome back and please feel free to use the new and improved message board.
What happened yesterday?
Alright, you caught us. We can't actually tell you what happened yesterday, what with time
being so relative and all, and so very hard to pin down. However in the time honored tradition
of bait and switch, now that you are here we can tell you how to find out what happened on Driveway Cam's
yesterday (even if the yesterday you seek isn't the one that was right before today, whatever day today
may be for you. (Uh-oh, getting that time bending headache again))
As hard as it is to imagine not everyone can or did check in everyday (no names but her
slightly scrambled initials are WCM) so at some point we started saving the previous postings should
anyone want to catch up with all the action or non action they had missed. Hence the
Previously on Driveway Cam section was born. It got a little out of control so it was
archived into the Previously on Previously section. That also got a little out of control and
was split off into the Previous Previously on Previously section, where what happened on all the yesterday's
yesterdays continues to grow to this day, which as it turns out, is today, as well as tomorrow, but isn't
yesterday. (you're getting the time headache now too aren't you)
How do we watch the weather?
The air quality links are one way to hop around and see what the weather is out there. They are
also an excellent way to watch the sunrise (or set) across the country. Traffic cams are always
good too ~ and of course almost all of the outdoor views give you some idea of what the
weather is in their location(penguins, old faithful, any of the mountain views). For what the
weather may have been there are the What's the Weather links, which show the most recent collection
of weather pictures, as well as all the previous collections. And the Rochester Weather link in
the table takes you to a local TV station website which has a link to a really nice selection
of weather cams all over, you just cycle through them to see what's happening out there.
Quiz? What Quiz?
Every now and then, on no particular schedule, a quiz is posted for the day. Anyone can enter,
all are encouraged to do just that. The first correct answer emailed or posted on the message
board is the winner. Winners and answers to the quizzes are posted as well. Links to all
of the quiz related sites are in the main page table of links. What do the winners win? You
mean besides the glory of being the quiz winner? We're not sure yet. It's a new feature. We
are currently keeping track of winners and we'll see how the numbers stack up ~ and maybe even
take suggestions on what the prize (or prizes) should be. P.S. Decision of the judges is
final, and yes, they are for sale.
Hey! Where did my favorite link go?
Old links don't die, they just go to the retired links page. When a link is removed from
the table of links on the main page, it is added to the retired links page (which as it turns
out also has a link in the table of links on the main page)(we're not sure what will happen should
that link ever be retired....the recursive implications make our collective heads hurt)
