I’m generally uncomfortable with the idea of a surveillance state—unless, that is, I’m the surveyor. I now have seven cameras in my fun little home-police state, where I’m mayor, judge, jury, detective, and police constable.
Nothing happens in or around my property without me knowing about it. In practical terms, this means knowing the comings and goings of all the neighborhood cats. I happen to want to know their comings and goings, so I’m very happy about this. The other night, I saw a black cat following a hedgehog around in the back garden—exactly the kind of return on investment I was hoping for!
