This came out a few months ago, but I just found this on Flickr while researching the upcoming weekend project. It’s a way of automating your isight to take a picture 60 seconds after you, or anyone, open it up. Flickr member omegastation set this up before sending off his macbook for fixing. In a worst case scenario, if someone stole your macbook, you could have your macbook send you pictures of them.
I set this up and I made this little automator program that takes and sends the pictures, but I don’t have a lot of experience programming from a terminal and I got hung up on step 5. If someone could make a little screencast of how to set this up, that would be awesome. This seems like it would be a simple first programming project! – Link
Update: Check the comments for super explicit instructions… with these instructions, anyone can program this now! Thanks Omegastation!
