Peephole surfing: Online Webcams

Here's a Google query that retrieves a list of online web-cams - some of which are probably not meant to be publicly accessible. For example, here is a Shoe Store, and this is a general aviation airfield (Grenchen, Switzerland) and a regional airport (Stuttgart). I also have a Building Site for you with a cam that you can tilt and manipulate! Less exciting is this pub, which showed a very small crowd last night. You'll find traffic cams (utterly boring) and even more building sites - looks like they use the cams to make sure everybody's taking their jobs seriously! Also, a whole lot of dull computer labs, streets and buildings.

If you'd like to find out where they are, you take have a good guess after you've entered the cam's domain name or IP into whois. Nota bene: Safari can't display these cam feeds -- use a different browser.
