I've been playing around a lot with livecasting and streaming video solutions and decided to fashion my own custom webcam to take around with me. Here's a prototype I just put together made with a camera tripod and a Logitech Orbit Webcam.

A cool thing is if I run it off a PC, it can track faces an the eye actually spins around automatically. Kind of scary now that I think about it.

I still want to make it nicer. maybe add some arms so it can hold things for me and I need to figure out how to hold it stable if I perch it on my shoulder when I am moving around. Any suggestions? How would you mod this robot webcam? I also need a good name.
