No Tits, Techno

Hey, I've been a big fan of JenniCam since way way back. Hell, I even like JedCam. But I've got to tell you, I'm now hooked on Here and Now.
Here and Now is a live WebCam set in a house shared by 6 college students in some non-descript university somewhere shitty in the midwest. They lounge around, watch TV, and -- gasp -- TALK on the Web. Covered, live, 24-7-365. It's like a combo between "The Real World" and that live porn condo in Florida.
We've all seen this before: blah blah blah, look at me, I'm on the Web, here's a camera pointed at my ass, watch me pee, watch me play Quake, watch me gar gar gar. Been there, done that, right?
But Here and Now is cooler than your average WebCam for various reasons. A), they have about 200 times the production quality of your average WebCam site. Sure, you lose that personal touch, but this shit looks REAL GOOD. B), they use RealVideo, so, like, you can see what's happening EVERY SECOND of the day and nobody can run out of the room, make a sandwich, and come back to fake the same pose in 120 seconds. C), and most important, since they have an audio track too they can play POUNDING TECHNO MUSIC all the time!!
This is so cool! Just yesterday I watched this kinda homely hippy girl scratch her butt in her sleep for an hour while THUMPING ATARI TEENAGE RIOT pounded through my computer speakers. My guess is that she couldn't hear it.
Anyways, go dig on Here and Now. It's cool.
