MammothCam.com is the result of a group volunteers who wanted to bring the
experience of this discovery to as many people as possible. Using webcams,
websites and as much technology as we could get our hands on, our goal
is to help share the discovery of the Columbian Mammoth(s?) in San Jose, California
with those who cannot visit the excavation site directly or just want to
stay in touch with the daily progress.
There is something to be said for the celebration and sharing of discovery, for
recognizing the role of exploration and for encouraging curiousity. In a world
that seems all too complicated, in a time that is far busier than expected and here
in the heart of Silicon Valley -- the birthplace of the most advanced technology
in the world -- there is something to be said for looking back upon a time when
all that we have accomplished and all that we have become was but a dream.
Curiousity, exploration and discovery -- these are a few of our favourite things.
MammothCam invites you to join us in this celebration and sharing, thanks to a
man, a dog and a Columbian Mammoth from a long time ago . . .

Roberta Silverstein, Dreamer/Schemer
Roberta's first view of the mammoth bones in San Jose brought back memories
of yearly travels to Colorado, witnessing the dinosaur digs. As a small
child, Roberta had a passion for dinosaurs and paleontology. It was only
the thought
of getting extremely dirty that kept her from a career as a paleontologist
and lead her to develop marketing/communications programs for
technology-based companies. "Hmm," she thought upon first glance of the San
Jose-based bones, "why can't the dig be webcammed so that everyone can see
what's going on?" While not technically versed in the technology of
webcamming, Roberta knew it could be done and set out to find the right
people to get the job done. When not mammothcaming, Roberta performs
marketing and communications work from her business, Brain to Fingers and
through MediaBridge PR.
