It is astonishing how completely UNREAL so-called “reality
shows” are these days, and it’s obvious that they are only becoming increasing
more so. If you’d like a few suggestions
for some REAL reality shows, here are my picks:
1) Audubon's
Bremen, Maine, Osprey Cam. Watch Rachel
and Steve, committed and successful parents, raise their kids from eggs to
fledglings over the course of the summer!
2) Turtle Bay
West Cam, Hawaii. Gorgeous and relaxing;
the next best thing to being there.
3) Cornell’s
Laysan Albatross Cam. If you’re lucky
enough to catch an Albatross Hoe-down, you’ll never forget it!
Swing your corner. . . now, swing your partner:
4) Times
Square in New York City. Guaranteed to
remind you why you’d rather be in Turtle Bay.
5) Self-build
Webcam, UK. The ultimate DIY fix; watch
as a Longfield, U.K., resident builds his new home himself, stick by brick.
6) Microscope
Cam. Another world, in a drop of water.
7) Earth View
Cam. The ultimate perspective
adjustment.
8) Shawnee
County Treasurer Hallway Wait Cam. Live
cam actually shows the number of people waiting to get in. Beautiful for reminding yourself that,
however awful your day may be, at least you’re NOT THERE.
9) The
Foucault Pendulum in the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics, Heidelberg. Demonstrating the rotation of the Earth. Geek self-hypnosis.
10) Basilica
of St. Francis in Assisi. A mini-pilgrimage
for the travel-challenged.
