Who are we?

 

The bratcam started at Hampshire College in January of 1999. Ben and Seth decided to see if they could hook up their broken camcorder to the web. And they could. Since then it has gone from being a page on the Bratwurst Productions site to being a home on the web for these friends.

Ben, Rachel, Seth and Coley met at Hampshire College a long time ago and have been close ever since (in friendship, not distance). Ben and Rachel recently moved from New York and now everybody is on the same coast. Seth and Coley are having a good time in Echo Park (a Los Angeles neighborhood) and Ben and Rachel are getting set up in Portland, OR.

Doby is from California. He's 3 years old and still seems like a puppy (other than his size). He often takes up too much room on the bed. He is full of energy and cuteness. He likes to go for rides in Seth's convertible bug, climb trees, play with other puppies, and sleep his days away. He is obsessed with marshmallows. He also has his own web site, DobyThePuppy.com. Please check it out, Doby will be happy you did.
