Hulk'in Limeade Stand for Celiac Charity - turn stuff on & off with 3 live webcams

    Last year I did a lemonade stand with my kids & the HULK and we had a ton of fun.

    So this year, I thought I'd take it up a notch and setup three webcams so you can view the action, plus use X10 controls to turn stuff on & off. And I'm doing it as a charity fundraiser for Celiac Disease - this is something my kids have, so it's personal for me.

    We won't be actually making and selling Lemonade ^H^H^H^H^H^H Limeade (with Tequila shots for the big kids) until next Saturday, June 10th ... but I have the webcam streaming now with a "funky" setup in my basement where you can control things ... so I'd appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on the layout, AJAX controls, Lemonade Blog, etc.

    Yea, I know it's a bit cramped on 1024x768 resolution ... but I like the large images so I don't see a way around that - for those on 1280x1024, it should look fine.


    P.S. There's some load balancing between two web servers and I'm using mod_perl, so it should be fairly scalable.

    Webcam1 is down in my basement providing a live feed - here's a "DP snapshot" of that ... ;-)

    Look forward to virtual limeade stand and toys. Please don't make me thirsty for some cool hulkinlimeade. It is too far to come for a refreshing glass.
