From this entry I had the idea of building a volcano webcam. I have some spare computer parts, a bit of extra bandwidth, and a clear shot of an active volcano from my front yard. The only problem is the volcano isn't real close (as it is an active volcano, I don't really see that as a day to day problem).

With a 10x or 8x binocular, the volcano will fill the viewfinder. If only I could have a webcam with a binocular attached.

Thus,. this project.

I'm going to pretend for a moment someone else out there would like to use this as a guideline for building their own Volcano Nocularcam so I'll sort of write this as a step-by-step guide.

Things you'll need.

1) Cheap webcam
2) Cheap binoculars
3) Styrofoam
4) A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide
5) Duct Tape (of course)
6) Matte Knife*
7) Screwdriver*
8) Hammer
9) Dremel tool**
10) Permanent marker
11) A computer or something for the webcam (duh)
