The Baby Name Wizard is one of the most useful, interesting, and beautiful Java apps that we've ever seen on the web. That's one heck of a recomendation for a baby name chooser, eh? Well, wait til you see it. Drawing on historical social security records from baby name data, the app quickly shows you a graphical history of any of the most common 1000 names. The dazzle of the initial graph can easily distract you, so make sure you remember to try typing a name up top for an individual name history.

All over the world people use standard software to hook up their webcams to the internet. Thankfully, not all of them remember to set their password. The result is the ultimate in voyeurism. Revealed by a simple Google search these webcams are completely under your control. You can pan, you can zoom, and if you're lucky you can see something that no one wants you to. Sadly, what we've found is pretty boring, but does leave you with a sense of new and profound respect for the internet age. Perhaps there's even art to be found there as this collection of still photos suggests. There's a radio station control room in Japan (we watched two girls writing, plugging in something, writing, plugging in more stuff), A traffic cam, a lake area, a computer room, a parking lot in Europe, a car park in Europe(with audio), a power plant(?), a japanese drum room(audio)??, a music store security cam, a greenhouse, a shopping center, a showroom in italy, an office, ski slopes, a marina, a golf map, someone's desk, somewhere very cold and someone's apartment in Japan. NOTE: These cams require an ActiveX install - click on the top banner in IE (usually a bad idea, but this is just professional webcam software nothing scary).
