OK, dude, the reason you have no date and no party is because you do things like spending New Year’s Eve with your computer. Go. Get out of the house.

* Voyeur central: Cammunity (https://www.cammunity.com) has muchos links to Web cams both public and private. The science cams are interesting; the personal cams, as usual, are scary. These are the people visiting Web sites on New Year’s Eve.
