NBC Olympic Control Room

Posted in Sport, Technology on Aug 10, 2008

The Live Video Control Room at NBCOlympics.com is the coolest thing ever. You can watch up to four events at once, assign different video to different screens, jump from sport to sport, enlarge a video if you’re particularly interested and there are other features I’m still learning.  This is major cool.  I wish Joost would have been able to do this (I like supporting the little guy).  Speaking of supporting the little guy, Micrsoft’s Silverlight technology really seems to be making a name for itself here.  Yeah, its a Flash alternative, but if NBCOlympics.com is taste of the potential of Silverlight, then I guess we have room for another fancy Internet technology.

    Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. — Crash Davis
