From time to time, someone will get their 15 minutes of fame online by broadcasting their life through a webcam. It’s pretty fascinating for awhile, but eventually viewers grow tired of it and that person decides he wants his privacy back.
Well now a guy named Justin Kan is getting his 15 minutes by actually wearing the webcam on his head 24/7 with audio. He was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle today and he’s gaining a lot of buzz.
My friend Tom mentioned it a week ago, and I have to admit, it’s addictive to be right there in the middle of conversations.
I know, it’s pitiful watching other people live their life while I sit at a computer. But still… you have to admit it feeds a natural voyeuristic curiosity we have.
