Stick (almost) anywhere webcam
I had a problem (its as if they come looking for me), I want a camera to document the work I do in the lab while I'm working, yet there aren't really any convenient places to put a camera. I had toyed with the idea of bolting one to my swing lamp, but I still want to reposition the camera if I need to. Magnets. Why not glue a magnet to the base of the webcam?

You can stick this camera to any steel surface, be it a lamp, a wall, a car, or whatever. The camera could be used for lots of applications. I'm using mine as a documentation device in conjunction with the lab computer.
