This should probably read NBC damages NBC ratings. The issue is definatly with them taping everything and playing it back later, not to do with the internet having up to date results.

Hopefully by the next Olympics streaming video will be allowed so the whole world can watch at the same time.

A few quick jokes.. The first about circumcision, and the other two some bar talk.

I see these sorts of stories from time to time.. Surprise baby for woman on 23rd birthday.

How the hell can you not realise you are pregnant? Thats just plain weird.

If you have a fast computer and you’re into dance music then check out the Media Dome. Its like a 3d virtual club you run on your computer where you can hang out and listen to the music while browsing the web or just watching the MPEGdancers do their stuff. Make sure you have a fast computer though, as the PII|/600 with 128MB memory I tried it on was having a real hard time.

Looks like Comedy Central is about to start offering pay-per-download copies of southpark episodes. Its nice to see a big company using their collective brain for a change. I get the impression they’ll be using the secure ASF format which noone has been able to crack (yet).

First update for a while. I’ve been busy watching the games. So far its been great. None of the expected public transport hassles have surfaced, and everyone here is having a great time.

I’m just checking the stats for my other website, and it looks like I’ve had 16,000 different people pass through over the last 12 months. I’m happy about that, although I could always use a few more :)

An interview with the creator of Sim City and The Sims.

The next version of the Sims sounds intresting - online Sims! It says in the interview they’re expecting to be able to get 50,000-100,000 players online. I wonder how many toombstones you could collect in your back yard…

Just so you know, the image below isn’t live, I just happened to catch an internal test-pattern screen at the end of a Beach Volleyball game and thought I’d capture it since its not often you see that sort of things these days.

The games are going well so far. Australia has 3 gold, and is coming second in the overall medal tally behind the USA. If you haven’t checked it out already, go have a look at Olympics.com where IBM have done some great work creating live scoreboards for most of the events which you can leave sitting around on your computer to keep track of the events in progress. They even have a little webcam window so you can see whats happening.
