I'm planning on bringing a webcam to some of the late-nite room parties at Hukilau, to stream video of the parties to you fine folks at home -- so you can kinda, sorta be there! No guarantees yet, as I won't know a) if I'll be able to get an Internet connection, and b) how comfortable I'll be bringing my stuff to a party full of spill-prone drunks (myself included). But I think it's a plan worth pursuing. I've got Saran Wrap.

I've created a chatroom in Userplane, which lets me stream live webcam video. Here's how to see it:

• Follow this link: Humu Kon Tiki Webcam

• Log in to Userplane (you don't need to create an account if you don't want to, you can log in as a guest)

• Once you're logged in, Click "Chat!" to launch the chat window.

• You'll see a list of users in the room in a list on the left side, under "The Molokai Bar." If my webcam is currently broadcasting, you'll see "Humuhumu" in the list; click my name, and you'll get my webcam video in the lower left corner. There's a "+" button you can click to enlarge the video window.

You can log in now if you'd like, but there won't be anything to see until I start broadcasting.

If any of you are also bringing webcams to Hukilau, feel free to stream them using my Userplane chat room -- that way, all the webcams can be found in one spot. If we can get multiple webcams going in one party, it'll be like a sitcom! We'll have to get pablus started on a theme song.

When I find myself in a position to start broadcasting video, I'll post here in this thread to let you know, and I'll also post it in Shout, too.
