Webcam shows 24 hours of lava lamps
January 6, 2009
SEATTLE, -- A Seattle bar code-technology entrepreneur said his 24-hour lava lamp Webcam fills an Inter-
net void -- but he doesn't know who would watch it.
Jerry Whiting, 55, founder of Azalea Software, said he put the live video of two lava lamps on the Internet
simply because he could not find anything else like it, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Tuesday.
"I'm a nerdy guy. I got to wondering if there was a lava lamp Webcam. And when I realized there wasn't, I
had to fix that," he said.
"I thought about (a Webcam) with Sea-Monkeys," Whiting said. "But that would have been too weird."
While Whiting was unable to say what sort of person would be attracted to a lava lamp Webcam, the site
was picked by judges including TV's "Bones" producer Barry Josephson, comedian Pauly Shore and
recording artist Tommy James as one of EarthCam's 25 most interesting Webcams on the Internet in 2008.
