ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

The shot below is of a subsidiary of GE. I remembered the GE part so I could disclose the relationship (GE owns NBC) but I forgot to note the actual company. That's not the point so much anyway. The point is the extent to which video culture is being pushed at CES. The idea here is to put these cameras up all over your house and yard, even in the dog house. You can then monitor everything from that small screen on the second shelf.

I've always been intrigued by this idea, but the problem is power. I'm not sure many people have power sources at their mailbox or doghouse.
