C.E.J. Pacian presents the world's first liquid-fuelled rocket-blog: trapped in a hyperbolic orbit to nowhere in particular.

Walking into work I counted every CCTV camera I could see, figuring that if I can see them, they'd potentially be able to see me. My final count was 32.
On the way home I saw some I think I missed.

And to think I feel more relaxed and less 'watched' when it's less crowded...
That must feel rather disturbing... I wonder who has to watch the broadcast/footage from all of those - and if they fall asleep as easily as I do, when watching 'reality tv...'
32? Wow. Around here people get miffed at red light cameras...all 5 or 6 of them. I'm sure they help with crimes, but I wonder what they do with all that footage. I worry more about doing something goofy at an odd moment and having it recorded by a stranger on a cell phone and put up on youtube for all to see... At least we don't have to worry about being watched in our own homes. Yet.
My husband and I were just talking about that exact thing over there--we're definitely down that road ourselves. Are people hollering and having fits yet? Have they given up? Are the cameras vandalized?

I'd like to become a camera sniper.
