one of the most hit on beauty sites is
the KPIX TV weather camera high atop the
Fairmount hotel in San Francisco this is
the king of the Internet cameras this is
a Philips LD k9t it's a top quality
studio camera while we control it in a
interesting way as a secret number you
dial up and then with the touch-tone
keypad on a phone you can move it around
like points on a compass and if you
press a certain button it'll make the
windshield wiper work this is the
microwave dish we take the shot off of
the Philips camera then we shoot it down
across San Francisco there's a gray
building down there by the water front
that's KPIX headquarters about a mile
and a half away we pick it up there put
it into our in-house cable system bring
it into our spark station on the Sun
tuner take a snapshot make it a jiff put
it up on the web a lot of favorite spots
you can see from the Fairmont the Golden
Gate Bridge we get a tremendous number
of requests for that if the cameras not
pointed at the Golden Gate we hear about
it
