Heading to Ottawa for a CIRA meeting, watching Argentina vs. Netherlands on the 'puter via wifi and a slingbox. 24:13 in. Both teams playing well.

Feed sorta dodgy, but on the whole...man, this ROCKS.

ps: If you applied for a spot on the CIRA Board, we are meeting to discuss who we will put forward tomorrow.

GO HOLLAND!

Update: here's a sample of the quality of the picture. Not bad, for wifi on a moving train.

Update 2: Ended in a 0-0 tie. Caught the last bit here in the Ottawa train station. Is this the future of media? Well, something like this sure feels likely...

It's funny. This morning, as I was getting the family breakfast and dealing with overnight email (about 30 new emails on a Sunday morning - how is that? Anyway...). So there I was struggling to hear the San Marino Grand Prix from the kitchen. F1 is a Sunday morning ritual around here - our 5 year old girl could say "Schumacher" before many other words. Needless to say, I was sooo wishing that I could be watching it on the laptop.

Well, of course I can. I just need to get a Slingbox. And now that Mark has blazed a trail, maybe it's time for me to do the same. Though it sounds like setup was brutal.

Of course, I might also need to upgrade from basic cable...
