Ahhh the Olympics. I enjoy watching swimming. Especially since I used to swim. Yes for those of you that didn’t know, I did! Really! I was in shape back then. Some day I will post a pic of myself from HS. I was a breaststroker (yes yes, laugh it up). 100 yards in 1:04:1 baby. Wooo!
Anyway, while I’m in my office chatting or, like now, blogging or anything else, unfortunately I can’t see the TV in the living room. And though I could use the laptop, the laptop gets really really hot and the couch is juuuust not at the right height for me to put the laptop on the coffee table and work comfortably…and the couch is too low or the TV tray is too high to use that too. So I’m in my office.
But no matter!! I have the slingbox!! Wooo! So here’s what my desktop looks like tonight while I do a bit of facebook-ing, chatting with a friend, and downloading some stuff and so forth. That in the corner there is my slingbox, and though it’s not the HD slingbox, it’s ok. It looks decent even on the HD channel. And the picture is smooth. There’s about a 1.5 second lag from the actual feed but no biggie there since I can’t see the original broadcast anyway.
So yup. With this combined with my little laptop and my TV upstairs in the bedroom, I got Olympics eveyrwhere!
Wooo!
….and no…this is NOT sad dammit! This is cool!!!
Right??
