From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Aside from staring at action figure battle scenes

WinCustomize Live is an idea we're pretty excited about at the moment, as you can probably tell by the numerous news postings we've made in the last week or so on the topic.  As we work on getting all the technical bits hammered out, we're starting to think towards content that's both simple to produce, and interesting to the community.

What could we put on camera that would be interesting enough to get you to watch?  We've got a few ideas already, but I'm interested in hearing what you think would be cool.  We want this to be something that really helps WinCustomize stand out among the other skinning and art sites on the net, and a service that delivers something useful and/or entertaining.

So, what do you want to see?

Also, what about live tutorials, so that users can ask questions and actually see what should be happening on their screen? It could help with all of the "I NEED HELP!!!" articles in the forum where nobody can figure out what the root problem is...

I think the camera should be pointed at a different Stardock employee each day, that way we could get to know the staff and what they do.
(and Brad can keep an eye on them while he's away..... )

could daily sessions in the US be recorded and played later taking into account different time zones?...

Apologize if I'm in the wrong place, but I work for an IT support company specializing in Builders/Architects. I would love to see this be a functional package where the Architect could have a Sidebar item or background that's a live shot of the jobsite webcam (which is becoming common on larger projects). Some of the features desired would be the ability to "star" certain times as events that can be easily recalled, or go back in time to see what happened at a certain date/time (for example, on one of my buildings they dropped the rooftop unit from the crane. It would have been great to have a video of $200,000 worth of AC Units crashing to earth).

I don't know that live video would be all that important, but cool. Still images that could be enlarged (higher resolutions available) would be great and I believe our clients would pay if some company would like to act as the storage place for the images.
