For you Amsterdam lovers
So i've been addicted to this A-Dam webcam for about a year now. Any time i'm feeling PADS (post Amsterdam depression syndrome), I just pop the webcam on and listen to the trams go by. Do you think I love A-Dam?

Thanks for dropping that link Marc. Seems like the town is very busy! Also after about 15 seconds the screen goes green and inverts?

That's strangely addictive.
Marc, I'll meet you at that intersection and we can have the first ever TPunk meetup to be broadcasted live!

Now theres a fucking idea. But the challenge is to actually hit a timeline for an online venture like that while in Amsterdam. I've seen others do it on an Amsterdam board.

Yep, sure is. They keep those out most of the year and in the summer months there are more of them. GREAT to be a man when drinking in Amsterdam. Nothing like taking a wis on a sidewalk and no one cares

I saw that too. Its new. Wonder how long it will stay there. The way I see the city of Amsterdam clean up, I bet its not there too long.
